Learn how Windows Admin Center improves your management environment Familiar functionality The Windows Admin Center gateway, when published to DNS and given access through corresponding corporate firewalls, lets you securely connect to, and manage, your servers from anywhere with Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. The gateway is included with Windows Admin Center in a single lightweight. The gateway manages servers by using Remote PowerShell and WMI over WinRM. Windows Admin Center runs in a web browser and manages Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 11, Windows 10, Azure Stack HCI and more through the Windows Admin Center gateway installed on Windows Server or domain-joined Windows 10.

It complements System Center - it's not a replacement. Windows Admin Center is the modern evolution of 'in-box' management tools, like Server Manager and MMC.

Windows Admin Center gives you full control over all aspects of your server infrastructure and is particularly useful for managing servers on private networks that are not connected to the Internet. Windows Admin Center is a new, locally-deployed, browser-based management tool set that lets you manage your Windows Servers with no Azure or cloud dependency.
