Windows Admin Center

Introduction

It is now possible to run Windows Admin Center in the Azure Portal with no need to install any gateway servers in your hybrid or multi-cloud locations. Wide Wold Importers would like to see what functionality is available.

Challenge

• Create a new security group, Windows Admin Center Administrators
• Configure Windows Admin Center access for the group
• Make sure the group does not have more access than it needs

Success criteria

Demonstrate:

• access to Windows Admin Center for the Windows on prem servers
• the role assignments for the security group

Questions:

• What networking limitation does the service currently have?
• Is it possible to use Windows Admin Center in the Azure Portal if you are using Azure Lighthouse?
