Windows Admin Center - Vmware migration to HyperV
We have a vCenter (multiple hosts) with about 30 VMs and need to migrate them to a single HyperV host. I installed the Windows Admin Center and the other components (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/use/migrate-vmware-to-hyper-v). I migrated 2 servers, one at a time, and both seemed to work, though I had to set the IP manually. I then chose 2 servers to migrate both at the same time and it seems to be hung. The sync process completed successfully. The migration process for both got to 25% and has been stuck there for a day now. The disks aren't that big and, presumably most of that was created/copied during the sync process. I also don't see an option to stop the process or restart it. I know the VM Conversion is a Preview function, so I'm sure support it limited. Any help or direction would be appreciated.Unable to use a certificate from my Windows CA
I am trying to use my own certificate signed by my CA, instead of the self-signed SSL certificate it offers by default. In fact, with the self-signed SSL certificate, WAC runs on HTTPS: However, when I switch to the certificate I have generated in my CA: When I try to access the link, it returns me: So if I switch back to self-signed SSL certificate: The WAC console is working properly again: What I doing wrong when I generate that certificate?Unable installing extensions from a different feed
I added a new feed from a path, and WAC is telling me it can't read the feed or update the corresponding catalog. I followed the instructions in this link: "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/configure/using-extensions#installing-extensions-from-a-different-feed". In fact, since my network isn't connected to the internet, I also followed the instructions in this other link: "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/configure/using-extensions#installing-extensions-on-a-computer-without-internet-connectivity". Regarding adding a file share as a source, it must meet the criteria outlined in this link: "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/configure/using-extensions#installing-extensions-from-a-different-feed". However, I'm getting these error messages and therefore don't have any extensions available to add:

Windows Admin Center 2410 not updating Server 2025
Hi, I have 3 new 2025 servers all updated and on the domain. Windows Admin center is working fine with all other servers (2012, 2016, 2019, and 2022). For these 3 new servers, I can connect and login through Adm Center and when I choose the "updates" tab the circle in the middle of the screen spins indefinitely. It never even shows if updates are available or not, it just spins. If I log onto the servers locally, I can see and install updates manually. But when I go back and connect through ADM Center, I just get the spinning circle. I currently only have 3 2025 servers, so for me it appears to be an issue with how they talk to ADM Center concerning updates. (and this makes me hesitate to update other servers) I've tried RDP, registry, Powershell, etc (all through ADM Center). It ALL works, but updates never do. Additionally the 2025 servers are able to communicate just fine to report update status to our WSUS server. If I click the "update history" tab on the updates page in Admin Center, I then see an error, but not sure what would be denying anything, when the connection already seems to be made: "Message We couldn't check update history. Error: (1) RemoteException: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) (2) RemoteException: The property 'ServerSelection' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set. (3) RemoteException: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. (4) RemoteException: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression." I tried to temporarily disable the firewall with no change in behavior. The account I'm using is a domain admin account and also added to the local admin group for testing.
Language Bug
I'd like to report a bug between WS2025 (english version not affected) and WAC. I tried to download Windows Server 2025 evaluation Italian version from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2025?msockid=1c4d54ba113b6b020d1942b710e66a95, I installed all the updates, installed WAC App, present in start (but also by downloading from the website) once the procedure was completed the WAC website opens in Edge but the "Sign in" button does not send any command. there is a problem translating a command because it is accented
