10 features of Windows Admin Center to streamline server administration
Windows Admin Center is a free tool accessible via browser that can make remote management more convenient, efficient, and secure. Credit: Dreamstime
A lot of the value built into Windows Admin Center has to do with it being a remote-management tool that can have a lot of upside in a modern IT shop, including implementing best practices by not logging directly into servers, bringing flexibility to the management architecture, and performing admin tasks from high-DPI or touchscreen devices.
Improve administration architecture
Windows Admin Center can be installed on a local Windows 10 client, a gateway server in order to provide centralized management, on individual servers, or in a failover cluster for situations where high-availability is required. Opting for the gateway server or the failover cluster means you could have Windows Admin Center installed in your network DMZ, and limit administrative traffic coming into your corporate network to specific management servers.
Administer via browser
If you’ve been in the business of administering Windows for any length of time you’re familiar with the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and MMC snap-ins. If you aren’t familiar with the name, think about all of the admin tools you’ve used in Windows such as Computer Management, Services, DHCP, DNS, etc. All of these are based on MMC.
