MMC (Microsoft Management Console) is not directly supported with the .NET version 1 FCL bits. It seems that the only recourse is COM Interop or staying in the unmanaged world exclusively. Here is some help to help bridge the gap from Jim Murphy of IronRing Software.

From Peter Drayton:

I don't generally click through ads, but this one piqued my interest: a free three hour trial of a hosted Visual Studio .NET, accessed via Terminal Services Client or the Remote Desktop Connection built into Windows XP. Obviously I already have VS.NET, but the hosted demo approach was interesting enough to make me try it just to see how well it worked. Verdict: a great low-touch/low-risk way to experience a complex piece of software.
