OS: Win 10 (Build 10240)
Problem: When I open the DNS Snap-In in the mmc I get the following error: MMC could not created the Snap-In
Troubleshooting: I took off all the DNS Tools in Programs and Features and restarted the workstations and added it back in. I also did the same with checked and unchecked both .NET Framework 3.5 and .NET Framework 4.6 Advanced Services and added it back in. Either way, I still get the same error and might need to reimage the workstation.

Hi,
For current issue, we can try commands below to scan OS components and system files to see if it can fix this issue:
Open CMD as administrator:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
SFC /scannow
Also, try the registry fix if your error message contains the CLSID for the corrupted components:
1.Press windows + R key simultaneously and type “regedit” in the Run dialog box to open Registry Editor.
NOTE: Before manipulating registry, you should make a backup of registry or create a system restore point.
2.Inside registry navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns
3.Inside SnapIns search for the error number specified in CLSID.
4.After navigating to the following key, right-click on the CLSID and select Export. This will let you to backup the registry key into a .reg file. Next, right click on the same key and this time select Delete.
5.Finally, in the confirmation box, select Yes to delete the registry key. Close the Registry Editor and reboot your system.
After restarting the machine, Windows would automatically generate the required registry configuration.
By the way, I used Windows 10 1709 to test DNS in MMC without any issue.
Since 10240 will be end of support on May 9, 2017, please make sure to update the latest version of Windows 10 to get things working well.
