Windows Admin Center as a Native App

[Steskalj]

When will windows admin center be coming as a native app, or at least an electron app? This has been a feature request since windows admin center had been announce and the response has always been in the future, but there have been no further updates.

This is not in our short term roadmap for Windows Admin Center. Windows Admin Center thrives with it's ability to ship as an out of box product. We are working through many upgrades to increase performance across the product, if that is your motivation for requesting an electron app. What benefits do you see with an Electron?

Things that would benefit from a native app, Smartcard pass through when using the gateway, better integration in to the desktop os, lower overhead, just to name a few. Also, if you wanted to ship as an out of the box product, but have a native app you could use react native, or use blazor and the features in .net 5 and 6 which allow for a web assembly desktop app. The browser was never meant for what WAC is doing. Even you competitors are looking to go back to native apps, and teams inside Microsoft have already embraced having a native like app. Such as the Azure Portal, which has an electron app.

Noted. Thank you for the feedback!

You are welcome, maybe a way to speed up this effort is to opensource the project, like many others are doing in Microsoft
