Now Available: Windows Admin Center 1910.2 Insider Preview

Windows Admin Center version 1910.2 is a cumulative update to our 1910 GA release in November. This release contains updates to the platform’s accessibility and numerous bug fixes. In addition, we’ve evaluated user feedback and have implemented some highly requested features.

 

This month, Windows Insiders get early access to our 1910.2 release before it is made generally available. See the official blog post for details on changes and how to download the new release: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2020/03/31/announcing-windows-admin-center-preview-1910-2/

    I'm having a problem installing 1910.2 (as I had an issue installing 1910 before it) This time, on multiple machines, I get an "unhandled exception error" during the "Registering CredSSP session configuration" process.

      Logik007 Can you share the verbose installer logs with me? Here is the command to run:

      <WindowsAdminCenterInstallerName>.msi /L*v path\to\save\logfile.txt

    I too had an  issue with the 1910.2 version not being able to populate the Overview with server info (same 4 messages soon after adding the machine to Server Manager - 'Performance class not found', 'RemoteException: the property 'Product' cannot be found', 'Get user settings and extensions', 'Couldn't query the computer inventory'

    Server was bare metal Windows 2019 Std server install on Nutanix AHV 5.10.7 

    Could see some machine details such as 'Installed apps' but Powershell also error'd with winpty-agent.exe application error

     

     

    Solution :

    Moved from 1910.2 to 1910, (uninstalled existing, installed earlier version) re-added server (as starts off as un-configured again) and everything worked ok

      Thank you all for reporting! I have filed a bug and we are looking to get this fixed by our next release. I will let you know on here when that is released.

    I'd only recently started using WAC (1910.1) and found it to be very useful, particularly with managing a Windows server without the desktop experience. Then I did the upgrade and now get the errors shown in the attached image file.

     

    Can someone point me to WAC 1910.1 somewhere so I can go back?

      Ditto here.  Fresh install of Server2019DC 1909 fully patched with Hyper-V on HP hardware.  Used two different browsers and getting the exact same errors as stated above.  The browser console log revealed this though:

       

      logLevel: Error

      main.3d63d4d70665f96c1198.js:47544 message: Cannot read property 'serverName' of null

    Prasidh_Arora can WAC monitor server availability?  Something like a dashboard that shows "all servers up" or "all but 2 servers up"?  or at least show me all the servers in one list and let me sort by up/down?  if it can, is there any notification ability in WAC? (i.e. email me if server goes down/offline)?

      jrauman Hi James. Currently, we do not have a dashboard that shows this information. In Admin Center's initial stages, we had this capability but many people reported security concerns with this implementation and it was removed.

      Just want to echo that I've been using Windows Admin Center for a year or 2 now and never had an issue until installing 1910.2 today.  Immediately I noticed the same issues as already described; I can access all my virtual Windows Server 2019 servers that reside on Hyper-V virtual hosts, but the Hyper-V virtual host servers (20 to 25 HPE physical servers) don't allow me to connect using WAC and now display 4 or so errors upon trying to connect.

       

      Interestingly enough, 3 of our virtual hosts are Lenovo, and all 3 of those virtual hosts allow management via Windows Admin Center with seemingly no issues.

       

      The Lenovo and HPE servers are configured near identical in how I've deployed them.  All Windows Server 2019 Datacenter installed as Server Core (no GUI), and all Hyper-V hosts.

       

      I've uninstalled 1910.2 for now and reinstalled 1910, and everything is working again as expected.

      Jared Lambe I'm sorry this is happening. Can you confirm that this error exists after waiting 20 minutes and retrying? If so, could you please share console logs found under developer tools (f12) to help us diagnose the problem?

        Prasidh_Arora more info just tried it again without waiting. There are about 4 error messages.

        This one comes up first.

         

        Try fixing any computer connection issues and refreshing the browser. We couldn't query the computer inventory data to determine the set of tools. Error: RemoteException: The property 'Product' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists.
