Windows Admin Center allows the administrator to manage servers and clusters using a graphical user interface. It is one of the essential components for managing Windows Server. In this lab, we will demonstrate how to install and configure Windows Admin Center.
Install and Configure Windows Admin Center
Windows Admin Center is one of the easiest tools that Microsoft has designed for Windows Server and Cluster Management. It offers a modern and simplified visualization for tasks such as monitoring performance, logging events, and managing configurations. WAC supports Windows Server 2012 and later, Azure virtual machines, and Windows 10 and 11 PCs. It is extensible, so third-party developers can build an additional management experience for the various server roles and applications. WAC will manage physical and virtual machines, either locally within a data center or in the cloud.
To install and configure Windows Admin Center, we will need to perform the following steps.
- Download and Install the Windows Admin Center Utility
- Access the Web Management Console
- Add Target Hosts
1] Download and install the Windows Admin Center utility.
On most devices, Windows Admin Center is not installed by default. So, you will need to download the installation media from the internet first and then install the utility. To download the installation media, you need to open a browser on the system and then go to microsoft.com. You need to click on the Download Now button associated with Windows Admin Center.
Once the Windows Admin Center installation media has been downloaded, follow the steps below to install it.
- Go to the downloads folder and double-click on the installation media.
- It will take a little time to get things set up, once done, check the box that says “I agree to these terms” and click Next.
- Check Required Diagnostic Data and click Next. You can also check Required and Optional Diagnostic Data if you know what you are doing.
- Make sure that the Use Microsoft Update when I check for updates option is checked and click Next.
- When you are in Configure Gateway Endpoint, configure a gateway for Windows Admin Center, make sure to allow Allow Windows Admin Center to modify machine trusted hosts settings and automatically update Windows Admin Center, and if you want you can also check the other two options.
Click Install.
- A UAC prompt will ask you to confirm, click Yes.
- This will start the installation process.
- Wait a couple of minutes for your system to install the Admin Center. Once it is done, you can launch it.
2] Access the Web Admin Console
When you launch the Admin Console, it will ask you to select a certificate for authentication, if your organization has its own certificate, select it, otherwise we will go with the Windows Admin Center client. You need to select the certificate and click OK.
Wait a few minutes while you configure your environment. Once you are done, you will see a welcome screen, close it. You may see a message asking you to update all outdated extensions. Click on “Yes” and you will see the UAC prompt. Click on Yes when you see it. Once the extension is done, click on OK when the prompt appears stating that the installation was successful.
3] Add another target host
After setting up the environment, we will see that the default host has been added, which will be the local computer. However, you can add more target hosts to the admin center. Follow the steps mentioned below to do the same.
- In the Windows Admin Center, click on the + Add icon.
- You will see the “Add or create resources” wizard, click on the Add button associated with the resource type you want to add.
- Fill in all the details and click on Add.
- Once added, you need to click on the Update icon to register the changes.
We hope that you are able to install, configure, and use the Windows Admin Center on your Windows server or client machine.
