At Ignite last year, we announced Windows Admin Center: Virtualization Mode (vMode), a purpose-built experience to help you easily manage on-premises Windows Server Hyper-V virtualization at scale – across multiple hosts and clusters – while effortlessly bridging your environment with Azure Arc for a true hybrid cloud experience. Today we’ve updated that build to 2.6.4.

This update sets the foundation for virtualization mode agent updates. When you install a newer version of Windows Admin Center: Virtualization Mode, the agents you have installed on your existing vMode managed machines will be updated to the latest version, ensuring consistency across your infrastructure.

For existing vMode users to take advantage of agent updates, you’ll need to uninstall your existing version of vMode before adopting this new build. Miss the announcement entirely? Check it out here or take a look at the documentation.

Download the latest build and let us know what you think!

    Davanna-White​  Is there a release notes or anything on what was added with this build?  After Ignite, I was interested in the preview that would start including SAN support, is that in here - or is that still down the road?

    Downloading using the link above, seemed to give me a copy of the normal WAC as well.  Definitely not the same interface I was expecting based on the previous preview
