Windows Admin Center version 2009 - Windows 2008 R2 issues

Question

Made a fresh install of Windows Admin Center version 2009 on Windows 10 2004 machine, was able to add Server 2019 to it with no issues, but when trying to connect to Windows Server 2008 R2, getting "Windows Management Framework (WMF) 5 isn't installed".

I already tried to install WMF 5.1 and reinstall .Net Framework 4.6.2 with farther upgrade to 4.8

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/windows-powershell/wmf/setup/install-configure?view=powershell-7

WMF 3.0 is not installed, after the WMF 5.1. I run Set-WSManQuickConfig in PS, and WinRM is running on both machines, firewall is disabled on both of them.

Successfully tried to enter remote PS from WAC (Windows 10) to Windows Server 2008 R2 (Enter-PSSession 2008R2).

As a test, tried to add another WS2008R2 server, but got the same issue.

Thank you,

Pavlo Mnykh

pavlomnykh&nbsp;Windows Server 2008 has reached end of support and thus, it is also no longer supported by Windows Admin Center.&nbsp;

Prasidh_Arora&nbsp;Thank you for such a quick response.I'm working on the file server migration from 2008R2 to 2019 and WAC would be super helpful.What is the latest WAC version that supports 2008R2 and were can I download it?

pavlomnykh&nbsp;I suggest you use Storage Migration Service for that - you won't need to have your 2008 R2 servers connected to WAC to do it. Just install Storage Migration proxy on 2019 servers, Storage Migration Proxy and Storage Migration Service on your management server, and you're good to go.

Prasidh_Arora&nbsp;Alban1999&nbsp;&nbsp;I tried to make 2019 as a proxy and performed the first run of the migration.But got 77 file errors and cannot download the log."Notification detailsErrorFailed to download the log file9:44:10 AMSourceGo to Storage Migration Service.TypeErrorMessageEnsure port TCP/445 (SMB File and Print Sharing) is open on the orchestrator server. The error was: The socket connection was aborted. This could be caused by an error processing your message or a receive timeout being exceeded by the remote host, or an underlying network resource issue. Local socket timeout was '00:01:00'.."Already followed the recommended steps to increase time to 10 minutes and disabled firewalls on both machines, but still having the same error but with 10 minutes in the message description.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-migration-service/known-issues
