You can even install it on Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and start managing your machines in minutes. Windows Admin Center is very lightweight and easy to install. So next to having a fast and elegant way to manage Windows Server systems remotely from basically any device, what are the other advantages of using Windows Admin Center?
The gateway manages servers by using Remote PowerShell and WMI over WinRM, with no agent required. You can download and install Windows Admin Center locally, in Azure or where ever you need to manage your Windows Server. Windows Admin Center runs in a web browser and manages and manages different versions of Windows Server, Clusters, and Windows 10, through the Windows Admin Center Gateway. I simply call it the next generation of your Windows Server management tools. This is what it says on the official Microsoft Docs page of Windows Admin Center. It comes at no additional cost beyond Windows and is ready to use in production.
Windows Admin Center is a locally deployed, browser-based app for managing Windows servers, clusters, hyper-converged infrastructure, as well as Windows 10 PCs. For example, if you look at the new Systems Insights feature, which locally analyzes Windows Server system data, such as performance counters and events and provides you with insight into the functioning of your servers using machine-learning models, can be managed directly through PowerShell. Many of the new Windows Server features get their PowerShell module. And with PowerShell Core 6 and PowerShell 7, you also get cross-platform support, to manage your Linux and macOS systems as well, using SSH remoting. Windows PowerShell 5.1 is built-in into Windows Server, and it does not only provide an excellent automation experience to write scripts but also provides a secure way of remote managing your Windows Server environment. That is why I want to show you more modern ways to manage Windows Server 2019. However, most of these tools have some limitations, especially when it comes to efficient remote management or automation. And if you have built some automation and process using these tools, they are still going to work. In this blog post, I am going to show you how you can manage Windows Server 2019 and even previous Windows Server versions with Windows Admin Center and PowerShell.įirst, let me start by saying the classic Windows Server management tools, like Server Manager, the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), sconfig on Windows Server Core, Perfmon, and the local-only tools are still part of Windows Server. I was surprised at how many didn't know about our new Windows Server management tools. I traveled to a couple of Microsoft Ignite The Tour stops and was not just presenting but also speaking to a lot of IT admins around the globe.
