Traditional Failover Clustering in Azure
Last month I presented a session during the “Windows Server webinar miniseries - Month of Cloud Essentials”. The session was on how to create highly available apps with Azure VMs. Following the session I was asked about setting up traditional Windows Server Clusters. This article will cover some news regarding new capabilities to deploy traditional Failover Clustering in Azure.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.IIS extension is not working - WAC 1909
IIS is running and working on my Windows Server 2019 LTSC. on WAC 1909, I installed IIS extension, then when I click on it it asks me to install IIS administration on my server clicked on the install, waited few minutes, restarted my server, restarted WAC, logged back in, then I get this error: "Unknown error has occurred when trying to initialize Web Server Module: "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized." Am i missing something or is this a bug? thanks
Can't connect to Hyper-V Converged Cluster
I've raised a bug here - https://windowsserver.uservoice.com/forums/295071-management-tools/suggestions/37729852--bug-can-t-connect-ti-hyper-v-converged-cluste I've installed Windows Admin Center with high availability following https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/deploy/high-availability. I can connect to nodes in the cluster fine through WAC, however when I try to add the cluster it says it can't find the name. If I click on one of the nodes it gives the FQDN of the cluster, I click it and it adds it as a connection but when I try to access it, it complains that WINRM couldn't not process the operation. I've tried it with two different clusters on our network. Any ideas?Deploy and Install Windows Admin Center in an Azure VM
The great thing about Windows Admin Center (WAC) you manage every Windows Server doesn't matter where it is running. You can manage Windows Servers on-prem, in Azure or running at other cloud providers. Now if you want to use Windows Admin Center to manage your virtual machines running in Azure, you can use either an on-prem WAC installation and connecting it using a public IP address or a VPN connection, or you can deploy and install Windows Admin Center in Azure. This blog post will show you how you can deploy and install Windows Admin Center in an Azure virtual machine (VM).

I don't think it's a known issue, didn't see anything about it in here Neither Google chrome, nor Edge insider can load the components section of Packetmon extension in WAC 1909. I even waited several minutes and all I saw was loading icon circling. I'm connected to a Windows server 2019 data center edition virtualized on Hyper-V, through a SSTP VPN connection. so because I'm trying to manage my virtual server from a non-domain computer, I have to first use a VPN to connect to the server's private network and then I am able to type in the private (local) IP address of the server in the WAC and add it to the list of servers to manage.
