Microsoft has released a new preview of Windows Admin Center, a remote management tool for Windows Server.

Announcing Windows Admin Center Preview 1910.2

Hello Windows Insiders! Thank you for continuing to follow Windows Admin Center as it grows and develops! This release contains updates to the platform’s accessibility and numerous bug fixes. In addition, we’ve evaluated user feedback and have implemented some highly requested features.

What’s new

Cut, copy, and paste in the Files tool
When you select a folder or file in the Files tool, users have the option to cut or copy the file or folder. After the file or folder is cut or copied, the paste option will become available, and a user can paste the file or folder into a different path.

Service restart

When managing machines using the Services tool, there is now an option to restart a service. There is no longer a need to start and stop a service in order to restart it.

Other major additions

Cluster quick update – On the cluster dashboard, updates for connected nodes will appear under the “Alerts” section
File upload – when a large file upload fails, you are now able to retry the file upload
Virtual machine filters – When viewing a list of VMs with multiple filters applied, the VMs no longer disappear after some time
Azure Update Management login – Users no longer receive a logon error when they try to setup Azure update management after setting up Azure monitoring
Active Directory account creation – We’ve fixed an error in Active Directory Domain Services where accounts could be created with passwords that didn’t meet the complexity requirements
In addition to the new features and fixes above, we are continuing to improve usability issues, focusing on making improvements to keyboard navigation and narrator support. We’ve also addressed reported bugs around CredSSP authentication.
