Create a Project File

The Server Consolidation Utility uses a project (.mdb) file to record your intended actions. The actions are recorded so you can execute them now or save the project file and execute the actions later.

The filename can be up to 64 characters long and can include any character except \ * ? < > | " /.

You have the option to:

  1. Create a new project.
  2. Open an existing project.
  3. Open the last project you worked on.
