Windows Admin Center (WAC) is a locally deployed, browser-based app for managing Windows servers, clusters, hyper-converged infrastructure, as well as Windows 10 PCs. It is a free product and is ready to use in production. Prepare: you can go to MS official to download WAC.
Login to host that you wanna use to install Window Admin Center then double click on WindowsAdminCenter2110.msi . In my case, i used Window Server 2019 to deploy WAC.
On the Windows Admin Center Setup screen, to accept the terms, select the check box, and then select Next
Send diagnostic data to Microsoft > Click Next
On the Use Microsoft Update to help keep your computer secure and up-to-date page, select Next
On the Install Windows Admin Center on Windows Server page, select Next.
On the Install Windows Admin Center page, select Next.
On screen select port for WAC page, keep default then click Install
After installation, copy URL of your WAC then click Finish, for me the link is https://dhvhcmwac001.dhv.local:443 ( also you can use ip address to login to WAC )
