Unable installing extensions from a different feed
I added a new feed from a path, and WAC is telling me it can't read the feed or update the corresponding catalog. I followed the instructions in this link: "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/configure/using-extensions#installing-extensions-from-a-different-feed". In fact, since my network isn't connected to the internet, I also followed the instructions in this other link: "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/configure/using-extensions#installing-extensions-on-a-computer-without-internet-connectivity". Regarding adding a file share as a source, it must meet the criteria outlined in this link: "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/configure/using-extensions#installing-extensions-from-a-different-feed". However, I'm getting these error messages and therefore don't have any extensions available to add:
Windows Admin Center 2410 not updating Server 2025
Hi, I have 3 new 2025 servers all updated and on the domain. Windows Admin center is working fine with all other servers (2012, 2016, 2019, and 2022). For these 3 new servers, I can connect and login through Adm Center and when I choose the "updates" tab the circle in the middle of the screen spins indefinitely. It never even shows if updates are available or not, it just spins. If I log onto the servers locally, I can see and install updates manually. But when I go back and connect through ADM Center, I just get the spinning circle. I currently only have 3 2025 servers, so for me it appears to be an issue with how they talk to ADM Center concerning updates. (and this makes me hesitate to update other servers) I've tried RDP, registry, Powershell, etc (all through ADM Center). It ALL works, but updates never do. Additionally the 2025 servers are able to communicate just fine to report update status to our WSUS server. If I click the "update history" tab on the updates page in Admin Center, I then see an error, but not sure what would be denying anything, when the connection already seems to be made: "Message We couldn't check update history. Error: (1) RemoteException: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) (2) RemoteException: The property 'ServerSelection' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set. (3) RemoteException: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. (4) RemoteException: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression." I tried to temporarily disable the firewall with no change in behavior. The account I'm using is a domain admin account and also added to the local admin group for testing.

I'd like to report a bug between WS2025 (english version not affected) and WAC. I tried to download Windows Server 2025 evaluation Italian version from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-server-2025?msockid=1c4d54ba113b6b020d1942b710e66a95, I installed all the updates, installed WAC App, present in start (but also by downloading from the website) once the procedure was completed the WAC website opens in Edge but the "Sign in" button does not send any command. there is a problem translating a command because it is accented
How to managed Active Directory using Windows Admin Center
Hello, Can I manage Active Directory using Windows Admin Center ? If yes, please provide the link to give me the documentation on the same. I can see that the Active Directory extension is in preview stage: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/use/manage-servers#active-directory-preview but this document is dated 2019. Any help on the above mentioned is appreciated. Thanks Sushanth AminUsing Active Directory Extension on Member Server
Hello WAC fellows, Is it possible to use the Active Directory extension on Member Server (with RSAT-AD-Tools installed) instead of connecting directly to a Domain Controller? I'd like to let users do certain tasks using an AD-Frontend of WAC, but I don't want to give them any kind of permission on the Domain Controllers. Ideally they would connectto a Management-Server using WAC and edit the AD using the AD-Extension. Any ideas?
