<p>Specifies whether the Administration Server initializes the Edit
MBean Server, which contains the hierarchy of MBeans used to make
modifications to the domain's configuration. All JMX clients,
including utilities such as the Administration Console and the
WebLogic Scripting Tool, use the Edit MBean Server to modify a
domain's configuration.</p>
<p>This MBean server exists only on the Administration Server. By
default, when the Administration Server starts, it starts the Edit
MBean Server. If you set the <code>EditMBeanServerEnabled</code>
attribute to <code>false</code>, the Administration Server will not
start this MBean server. If you disable this MBean server, JMX
clients cannot modify the domain's configuration. You can, however,
modify the domain configuration through the offline editing feature
of WebLogic Scripting Tool.</p>
<dl>
<dt>Note:</dt>
<dd>
<p>Disabling the Edit MBean Server is not sufficient to prevent
changes to a domain configuration. Because the WebLogic Server
deployment service does not use JMX, the Administration Console and
WLST can deploy or undeploy applications even if you have disabled
the Edit MBean Server.</p>
