1 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,770 Greetings and welcome back to the final chapter of this course. 2 00:00:05,900 --> 00:00:11,600 In this video lesson we will talk about Windows admin center a new tool that was released by Microsoft 3 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,290 in 2018 according to Microsoft. 4 00:00:16,310 --> 00:00:22,940 It is a locally deployed browser based app for managing servers clusters hyper converged infrastructure 5 00:00:23,180 --> 00:00:25,540 and Windows 10 pieces. 6 00:00:25,580 --> 00:00:30,680 When does that mean center comes at no additional cost and allows for central management of your Windows 7 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,670 based servers and computers. 8 00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:38,900 It is like having the Microsoft management console for all of your machines in one place. 9 00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:46,580 It supports Windows servers from 2008 R2 up to 2019 although you may need some additional preparations 10 00:00:47,060 --> 00:00:49,920 and also it supports Windows 10 computers. 11 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,030 In my opinion Windows admin center is ideal for small office and provides an easy to use graphical interface 12 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:02,690 to manage and monitor your servers and workstations windows up and center cannot be installed on a domain 13 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:03,670 controller. 14 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,640 Therefore I had to spin up another Windows Server virtual machine. 15 00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:12,520 I signed a new VM a static IP and I joined it to the domain. 16 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:18,380 I also installed another Windows 10 VM and join it to the domain just so I have more machines to demonstrate 17 00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:22,500 what Windows admin center is and how it works. 18 00:01:22,580 --> 00:01:24,190 Let's get started. 19 00:01:24,210 --> 00:01:27,250 Oh my love VMs are turned on and running. 20 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:34,280 Let's log into the newly created Windows Server 2019 VM that will host our Windows admin center once 21 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,230 your browser and go to the following link. 22 00:01:38,330 --> 00:01:40,850 This is where you can download Windows admin center from 23 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,230 click and download now. 24 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,750 Click on continue. 25 00:01:59,860 --> 00:02:02,980 You need to fill out some information before you can continue 26 00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:13,270 once you filled out all the required fields click and continue. 27 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,280 Let's save the file and now let's launch it. 28 00:02:27,230 --> 00:02:29,180 Put the check mark here and click next. 29 00:02:33,510 --> 00:02:39,810 I will select to use Microsoft update because it is always a good idea to keep your software up to date. 30 00:02:39,930 --> 00:02:43,010 This message lets you know of different installation options. 31 00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:49,560 In our case we're installing Windows admin center on this server and we're going to access it from here. 32 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,630 According to Microsoft modifying trusted hosts is required in the work group environment. 33 00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:58,350 Or when using a local administrator credentials in a domain. 34 00:02:58,350 --> 00:03:02,960 If you choose to forgo the setting you must configure trusted hosts manually. 35 00:03:03,060 --> 00:03:09,240 We're in a domain environment so we can allow Windows admin center to modify this machines trusted host 36 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,590 settings. 37 00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:16,900 We also don't care about using a P.S. only in the lab so we will leave the second option unchecked. 38 00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:23,130 Here we get to specify port that will be used for the Windows admin Center to use this G.P.S.. 39 00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:29,010 You need a certificate so you can either generate a self sensor ticket or use an existing one but the 40 00:03:29,010 --> 00:03:34,720 name on the certificate has to match the hostname of your server and you cannot use wildcards. 41 00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:41,090 You can also choose to redirect ATP traffic to secure a G.P.S. for the purpose of the slab. 42 00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:46,220 I will go ahead with a self signed certificate and leave port for 4 3 as my desired port. 43 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,280 Click on install 44 00:04:09,010 --> 00:04:14,560 installation has been completed successfully and it shows us the euro all of our windows Admin Center. 45 00:04:14,590 --> 00:04:17,350 Let's use it to log into our windows up in the center of Web site 46 00:04:27,230 --> 00:04:32,540 we're seeing this warning because a self censor difficult that we just have generated is used for this 47 00:04:32,540 --> 00:04:33,710 Web site. 48 00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:35,270 Let's go ahead and accept the risk 49 00:04:38,220 --> 00:04:40,020 enter your admin credentials here 50 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,740 as you can see right now it is pretty empty and we only see one server where Windows admin center is 51 00:04:52,740 --> 00:04:54,270 actually installed on. 52 00:04:55,020 --> 00:05:00,540 Thank you very much and we'll see you in the next video where we will add more devices store windows 53 00:05:00,570 --> 00:05:04,110 Admin Center and explore how we can manage them through it.
