I share your concern about MGTC. I started to worry when IBM deprecated iAccess for Windows without a new client for MGTC.

Subject: Is Management Central dead? Was: disabling QSECOFR profile

[Setting up your central system for the first time](

To complete an initialization, the Management Central sever requires that QSECOFR is enabled and active.

Thank you. Management Central was the thought that was bothering the back of my brain. QSECOFR's password expiring was a show stopper for us. We just change it on a regular basis.
However, is Management Central dead?
For example, while I can get to this link by an awkward path
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_72/rzaih/rzaih1.htm
It does not appear as a "related topic" at
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_72/rzahg/rzahg2aaih.htm
like it does at
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_71/rzahg/rzahg2aaih.htm
And, the 7.2 link only has "What's new for 7.1" and not 7.2.
I believe that IBM thinks that Management Central is part of System i Navigator which is part of the deprecated IBM i Access for Windows. While I can find no statement about Management Central I am attributing that to IBM feeling that it's part of the deprecated System i Navigator and that the statement about that also applies to Management Central.
