Server Manager can be used to manage the same operating system it’s installed on, as well as operating systems that are older than what is installed. It can’t manage the operating system on a server that’s running a newer version of the operating system. For example, a server running Server Manager on Server 2019 can’t manage a server running Windows Server 2022.

      Windows Admin Center is a newer server management tool from Microsoft. Microsoft has been investing heavily in Windows Admin Center, and it shows. You can use it to manage your on-premises systems, as well as your systems in Azure. Windows Admin Center is accessible through your browser and allows you to perform nearly all your administrative tasks through the same interface. Best of all, it’s free! You just need to pay for the license of the operating system it’s running on.

      Admin Center can be used to administer Windows Server 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012R2, and 2012 with full support for all functionality.

      Installation of Windows Admin Center is simple. You download the Microsoft Installer (MSI) package from the Microsoft Windows Admin Center website (www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/windows-admin-center). Before you install it you need to decide if you’re simply going to install it on your desktop client or if you want to install it on a server. My recommendation would be to use your desktop if you’re just trying it out or if you manage only a few servers. If you’re going to use Windows Admin Center in all its glory, install it on a server so that all your administrators can get to it. You’ll be their hero!

      You can install Windows Admin Center on a supported version of Windows 10 or on Windows Server 2016 and newer. To manage older servers — including 2012 and 2012 R2 — you need to install Windows Management Framework 5.1 on each of those servers.

      When you install Windows Admin Center on Windows 10, it’s installed in Desktop mode, which means that you access it using https://localhost:6516. When Windows Admin Center is installed on a server, it installs in gateway mode, which can be accessed with the server name in the URL (for example, https://servername). No port number necessary!

      

Localhost refers to the local loopback address on a system which can also be accessed at the IP address 127.0.0.1.

      

Installing Windows Admin Center onto a domain controller is not supported. As you might imagine, this would be a terrible idea! Because Windows Admin Center exposes its services via a web page, it provides a point of attack that would not normally be there.

      Some of the coolest features of Windows Admin Center include the following:

       Centralized server management

       Integration with Azure so you can manage on-premises and cloud resources from the same console

       Cluster management tools built into Windows Admin Center

       Showscript, which allows you to see the PowerShell scripts that are being run to do your administrative work
