Hello everyone, I'm having the following problem when creating a 2-node HA cluster (Server 2025) using the Windows Admin Center (Gateway). Up to the point "Validate Cluster" everything worked fine. Unfortunately, the process gets stuck at "1% Gathering data about nodes". However, I can confirm that the cluster report was successfully created on the first node without any errors. Has anyone else seen something similar and, ideally, have a solution for me? I checked the following: Permissions such as CredSSP, Remote Powershell and WinRM are correctly implemented on the WAC gateway and nodes. Manually execute the PowerShell command successfully: Test-Cluster -Node $ServerList -Include "Storage Spaces Direct", "Inventory", "System Configuration"Windows Admin Center needs a Group Policy Extension for GPMC
That's one of the important things that is missing in WAC 1907. even if not as part of the main features, make it available as an extension to optionally install it whoever needs it. Then, Microsoft can expect people to move from RSAT to the new WAC.

Hi all, I'm trying to add our HCI infrastructure to WAC but when I clock the + button, there is not option for 'Hyper-Converged Cluster Connection'. See screenshot. I am running WAC 2009. Is there a module for HCI that needs to be installed in order for it to be a selectable option here? ThanksCluster Shared Volumes (CSV) on S2D (Windows Server 2022) and DataDeduplication
I have a Storages Spaces Direct Cluster on Windows Server 2022 and I have Windows Admin Center in a current version (1.4.2212.08003) Seems like, that version some has changed in Volume management with Dedup enabled CSVs. When opening the volume WAC throw an error: Couldn't obtain storage pool information. Error: (1) RemoteException: The specified module 'Microsoft.ReFsDedup.Commands' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory. (2) RemoteException: The term 'Get-ReFSDedupSchedule' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. I've googled 'Get-ReFSDedupSchedule' as a cmdlet... There is only 1 refence online, pointing to a Q&A article with no info. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1299662/windows-server-2022-storage-spaces-direct-cluster The powershell module "Microsoft.ReFsDedup.Commands" isn't available within the WAC directories or the windows powershell default directories. Has anybody seen that error?
Using 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?
WAC Azure Extension vs Local Installation - Feature Set checklist
Hi All Is there any article that has a comprehensive side by side of the features that are available via the WAC Extension in Azure (Arc specifically) vs downloading and installing WAC locally I was trying to follow Thomas Mauer's guide to deploy an AKS cluster locally. I wanted to achieve this from Azure, but the AKS blade/option is not present via this extension. Is there a method to connect to the local WAC from Azure, similar to the way the extension is presented? I am aware that I could deploy WAC locally, configure AKS on it, then join that on its own to Azure. My use-case on this is that I have a bunch of bare-metal that has a lot of compute power that would make for excellent local clusters or dev environments.
