Hi,

I have a bit confused about "everything is roated"
Does it mean everything is routable?

Are you connecting to a machine on a different subnet?
To connect to amachine that is not on the same subnet as the gateway, make sure the firewall port for WinRM (TCP 5985) allows inbound traffic on the target machine. You can run the following command in PowerShell or at a Command Prompt as Administrator on the target machine to create this firewall rule:

Windows Server
Set-NetFirewallRule -Name WINRM-HTTP-In-TCP-PUBLIC -RemoteAddress Any
Windows 10
Set-NetFirewallRule -Name WINRM-HTTP-In-TCP -RemoteAddress Any

More info:

Prepare your environment for Windows Admin Center

Please try to change the manage account to your domain administrator account.

 

Best Regards,
Frank

Hi,

yep, it is harder to explain, but endpoints are in different subnet, management is in different subnet, server are in different subnet (no talking abou DMZs).

My problem is, that computer cannot be found, not a single one, i can add it, but availability is not verified and connect to it. But as you can see on the picture, i have about 20 computers that start hto- and there is none found or hinted or something, its much harder to add computers. 

On firewall everything is working, i connect to it and everything, i just cant get the finding feature working. Is it possible for admin center to look to AD and tr to find PC there? 

Thanks for your answer 

Jiří

    Hi,

    I have a test.

    Wac is installed a Server 2016.  A win10 called "win10-6" is located in a different subnet.

    They are routable. It works well.

    It occurs the same error when I delete the host A record of "win10-6"

     

     >>Is it possible for admin center to look to AD and tr to find PC there? 

    It is not support for now.

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Frank

      So in my case it doesnt see to DNS?
      Do you typ the whole FQDN and then it finds your computer?
      Or you can type first xx letters and then i finds all computers starting with those letters?
      Thanks

        Hi,

        I add it as its hostname or FQDN ,IP not first letter.

         

        In addition, you could disable your firewall for a test.

        Best Regards,

        Frank
