In this release, the Dark UI theme is available for all, and you can now add Server or PC connection by searching Active Directory, one of our top 10 user requests!
Also based on the top user requests, there are four new tools available. Azure Monitor enables email notifications, the #1 user request. New tools to manage Active Directory, DHCP, DHCP were #2, #5, and #7 respectively. These three tools are now available in Preview on the extension feed.

@Jeff Woolslayer How exactly can we "Add a server connection by searching Active Directory"? It would be much much better (and actually usable in Enterprise) if we could just sync with AD and have all the computers instead of manually adding them in each admin's account.

I have lots of (on premises) servers imported, but have a couple of Win 10s under 'Computer Management' & they don't have the 'Files' tool that I really want there to grab the occasional log file etc.
Fixed that by editing the manifest.json. Files is in the list for windowsClients, but msft.sme.file-explorer didn't have windowsClients.
Is there a good reason for that? Have only tested Files briefly with Win10 & it seems OK.

Please create a suggestion for this to be tracked.

I was able to install the update after deleting the existing Windows Admin Center Encryption certificate from LocalMachine\My. The installer created a new one during installation.
