It’s first was Server Management than most. While still a long way from its final Tools (SMT) – an Azure service that was discontinued release stage, the manufacturer recommends it in mid-2017. WAC, on the other hand, is a pure on- for managing Windows Server 2019. Admins must premises solution that users install on their own therefore expect to juggle a range of different tools computers. for the Microsoft platform over an extended period. 1. Why browser-based admin tools? The main advantage of web-based admin tools is offers for assigning access rights. clear: They do not require the installation of software Finally, browser-based tools are an advantage on the end device and can run on practically any when hybrid environments consisting of local and device with a modern browser installed. This is a cloud-based resources are to be managed via a particular strength when administrative tasks are single interface. Services in the public cloud are to be delegated to standard users in specialist inherently designed for management via web APIs. departments. One argument against browser consoles for a For such scenarios, it should be possible to reduce the long time was the poor usability of web interfaces. web interface to the required functions. However, Today’s web technologies, however, allow the this requires a role concept that allows flexible development of interfaces that are on a par with customization of the GUI and can also be used to their desktop counterparts in terms of convenience. control the permissions of the respective users.

Admin Center versus existing tools In addition to WAC, which appeared in its first official whose focus is on Unified Endpoint Management. version in Q2 2018 with Windows Server 1803, With the recent introduction of the ability to Microsoft has a broad portfolio of management distribute Win32 applications, cloud-based tools.

Admin Center has very little overlap with the By contrast, Admin Center is to be seen as an heavyweight tools of the System Center family. alternative to RSAT, which it will probably replace Products such as the Configuration-, Operations- in the long run. As the example of vSphere shows, or Service Manager cover tasks for which Admin porting complex tools from the desktop to the Center is not intended. Functional overlaps exist browser can take a long time. However, VMware with the not too popular Virtual Machine Manager recently completed this transition after developing (SCVMM).

There is similarly little competition with Intune, thomas-krenn.com | 5 3. WAC not yet a replacement for RSAT Admin Center, like RSAT, is primarily used to manage Admin Center does not nearly have all the functions roles and features provided by Windows Server. of RSAT at this point, yet it already offers exclusive Unlike VMware, which equipped the vSphere web features for managing Windows Server 2019. client with the functions of the native Windows For instance, if you don’t want to forgo a graphical client, the relationship between RSAT and WAC is admin UI for certain aspects of the current server more complicated. operating system (e.g. storage migration services or system insights), then you’ll need to use WAC. Only WAC provides a GUI for capacity planning with system insights. (Windows-Admin-Center-System-Insights.png) The functionality of Admin Center in relation to RSAT can be categorized as follows: WAC has features that are: • Incomplete compared to the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) tools. This applies to most components. • Largely feature-complete. This applies, for example, to the management of Hyper-V. A separate section below shows how WAC manages such a relatively complex system component. thomas-krenn.com | 6 • Unique and not present in RSAT, such as Storage Spaces Direct monitoring. This also includes useful little helpers like an RDP web client and a file upload service, which are also covered here. • Missing completely. This applies to important services such as Active Directory, DHCP, DNS and Remote Desktop Services. There is no exact timetable as to when which Term Servicing channel. functions will be added. However, Microsoft is Due to the fast update cycles, Admin Center is publishing previews of WAC in relatively short not yet included in the scope of delivery for the intervals and has so far released an official version operating system. for each server release in the Semi-Annual or Long- 4.
