Are there any Pre-Requisites to Windows Admin Center?
Hi Seema_Kanwa655!
Some things to check in this scenario:
1. RAM Assignment: The lag you are experiencing might be related to insufficient RAM. While WAC itself doesn't really need much RAM, the overall performance depends on the workload of the servers you are managing and the underlying OS of the VM. A baseline of 12GB RAM should generally be sufficient for light to moderate workloads, but you may need to increase it based on the specific demands of your applications. So please check this firstly.
2. VHD Creation: The size and configuration of your VHD can also impact performance. Ensure that your VHD has enough space to accommodate not only the Windows Admin Center but also any other applications and services running on the VM. Performance can also be affected by the type of VHD (dynamically expanding vs. fixed size). A fixed-size VHD often offers better performance.
3. Processor Allocation: The number of allocated processors (vCPUs) can significantly affect the performance. WAC isnt CPU-intensive, but the total workload of the system should be considered. Allocating more vCPUs may improve performance, especially if other processor-intensive tasks are running concurrently.
Also another thing, network speed and storage I/O performance can influence the responsiveness of WAC. Slow network connections or disk speeds can lead to apparent lag.
Please let me know if this helps!
