At Microsoft Ignite 2017, we teased the next-generation in-box management experience for Hyper-V and Storage Spaces Direct on Hyper-Converged Infrastructure built on Windows Admin Center, known then as ‘Project Honolulu’. Until now, this experience has required an Insider Preview build of Windows Server 2019. The most consistent feedback we’ve received by far has been to add support for Windows Server 2016.

Today, we’re delighted to announce it’s here! With the April update of Windows Admin Center and the latest Cumulative Update of Windows Server 2016, you can now use Windows Admin Center to manage the Hyper-Converged Infrastructure you already have today.



We will be improving the experience and adding more features in the upcoming months, so please try it out and send us feedback!

    Can a stand alone gateway WAC server be converted to HA Cluster installation of WAC?

    Thank you
