    Study Notes

    Windows Admin Center

    • Main benefit: provides a single pane of glass for managing Windows servers and clusters, allowing administrators to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot their servers and clusters from a single interface.

    Windows Admin Center Components

    • Gateway component: responsible for routing traffic from the web browser to the target server, allowing administrators to manage servers without requiring a VPN connection.

    Server Management Tools

    • Server Manager tool: allows administrators to manage and monitor remote servers, as well as install and configure roles and features.
    • Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT): allows administrators to manage roles and features on remote servers from a Windows 10 or Windows Server machine.

    Windows PowerShell

    • Primary function: provides a task automation and configuration management framework, consisting of a command-line shell and scripting language.
    • PowerShell allows administrators to run cmdlets on other Windows systems remotely using Windows PowerShell Remoting.
    • PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE) allows administrators to create, edit, and run PowerShell scripts.
    • Modules in Windows PowerShell: self-contained packages that contain PowerShell cmdlets, providers, and other functionalities.
    • Feature that enables running PowerShell cmdlets or scripts inside a virtual machine from the host operating system: PowerShell Direct.

    Clustering and Update Tools

    • Failover clustering tools: provide high availability and scalability for applications and services, allowing administrators to configure and manage failover clusters.
    • Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) tools: enable administrators to manage and deploy updates to Windows servers, ensuring they are up-to-date and secure.

    Security Concepts

    • "Least-privilege administration concept": refers to the practice of granting administrators only the necessary privileges to perform their tasks, reducing the risk of security breaches.
    • "Jump servers": used for secure access to sensitive environments, providing an intermediate layer of security and control.

    Feature Not Offered

    • Windows Admin Center does not offer a virtual machine (VM) management feature.

    Type of Web Application

    • Windows Admin Center is a web-based application that provides a single interface for managing Windows servers and clusters.
