thomasmaurerSo I actually tried Windows Admin Center and it literally does not work. It seems Windows 10 node management is either poorly implemented, has incomplete documentation, or was never implemented at all.

 

Worse, it seems I'm not the only one with this problem, someone else posted about it in January on TechCommunity and no one has come to their assistance.

 

Besides that thread, I've also asked about this on https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/feg6jy/how_does_one_set_windows_admin_center_to_use/ and filed an https://windowsserver.uservoice.com/forums/295071-management-tools/suggestions/39891064--bug-actually-implement-windows-10-node-managemen on the Windows Admin Center UserVoice.

 

If Microsoft is actually serious about getting buy-in on Admin Center it's gonna have to start actually supporting it and helping folks who have issues. Considering that Linux, FreeBSD, and Illumos already have easy web management consoles, Windows is pretty far behind the curve in this respect.

 

Can we get some proper help and support on this issue please?
