Microsoft has released Windows Admin Center Preview 1903

Email notifications in Windows Admin Center is the #1 user request. We are enabling this with new Azure Monitor integration in Windows Admin Center. More details and setup instructions are below.

A new tool to manage Active Directory Users and Groups is the #2 user request. The #5 request is a new tool to manage DHCP, and the #7 request is a new tool to manage DNS. These three preview tools are not included in the Windows Admin Center installer; you must install them from the Extensions manager in Settings. With these tools on the extension feed, they can be easily updated more frequently. To make this easier, we’ve made improvements to the notifications you get regarding extensions, which are described below.

The #6 user request for Windows Admin Center is adding connections from Active Directory. In this release of Windows Admin Center, we added the option to search Active Directory when adding Servers or Windows 10 PCs to your connection list. Using wildcards in your search and adding multiple connections is supported.

Finally, the Dark UI theme that was first introduced in Windows Admin Center Insider Preview 1812 is no longer an experimental feature; if you haven’t tried it yet, check it out in the Personalization tab in Settings!

If you missed last month’s Windows Admin Center Insider preview release, you can check out the new shared connection list, and SDN features here.
