In 2022, we introduced Windows Admin Center in Azure, making it easy for you to manage your Windows Server Azure VMs directly from the Azure Portal. Since its release, we’ve been overwhelmed by the positive response and feature requests we’ve received. Over the last 2 years, we expanded to support Azure Arc-enabled Windows Servers and Azure Stack HCI clusters, providing you access to Windows Admin Center for your on-premises machines without. We’ve heard you and added secure, password-less authentication, giving you single sign-on using your Entra ID credentials. We also increased the performance by over 50% leveraging Azure Front Door as our content delivery network. We continue to release every month, providing you with new experiences, updates, and bug fixes.



Today, we’re excited to announce that Windows Admin Center in Azure is expanding to also support Windows 10/11 machines. When you’re running Windows 10/11 as an Azure VM, you will be able to use Windows Admin Center in Azure to manage your client machines directly from the Azure Portal. By default, the Azure Portal provides a singular view for virtual machine management and the essential elements to manage your infrastructure. With the addition of Windows Admin Center, we have supplemented this great experience with additional capabilities such as an enhanced view of virtual machine usage, performance monitoring, viewing of events, and much more. We expect this to reduce the need for you to remote desktop into your virtual machine for administration, simplifying your experience as you deploy and maintain your client machines.
