I have Windows SBS 2008 R2, and when I try to open console manager or event viewer I get the message MMC cannot create the snap in. How do I fix this?

There are several reasons for this error:

  1. Your path does not include %SystemRoot%\System32\WBEM Make sure you check the right path. If logged in to a standard account
  2. Registry key gets corrupted or deleted: HKLM\software\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns\FX:{b05566ad-fe9c-4363-be05-7a4cbb7cb510}. Export the key to text and check for corruption or export from another system with same OS version.

NOTE: I'm seeing this problem on Windows 11 Pro trying to create a console for managing Hyper-V and Active Directory Light. Answers are generic enough to apply to other Windows flavors.
