    You can install WAC via PowerShell:

    On Server Core, you can install WAC via PowerShell like:

    Install-Module -Name WindowsAdminCenter -Force 
Install-WindowsFeature Windows-Admin-Center

    Make sure the WAC service is actually running:

    Get-Service -Name WindowsAdminCenter

    Make sure it’s listening on the proper port (default is 443):

    netstat -an | findstr 443

    Hope this helps
