Organizations that want to manage individual Windows Server instances, Hyper-Converged Infrastructure or Hyper-V VMs that run on-premises and in Microsoft Azure.Typical uses for this architecture include: In this solution, you can use it to provide a Windows VM to run Windows Admin Center. Azure Virtual Machines provides Linux and Windows virtual machines.Azure Virtual Network provides secure network infrastructure in the cloud.Azure ExpressRoute creates private connections between Azure datacenters and infrastructure on premises or in a colocation environment.The gateway can be installed on-premises or on an Azure VM that runs Windows. It accesses servers through the Windows Admin Center gateway that’s installed on Windows Server or on domain-joined Windows 10. Windows Admin Center is a browser-based management tool set that gives you full control over all aspects of your server infrastructure and is particularly useful for managing servers on private networks that are not connected to the Internet.A DNS record that users reference to connect to the Windows Admin Center gateway. Windows Admin Center can automatically deploy the adapter and also create an Azure gateway.

An adapter for a Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN to Azure when Windows Admin Center is deployed on-premises.

A Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN or ExpressRoute to manage nodes on-premises when Windows Admin Center is deployed in Azure. Nodes managed by Windows Admin Center, which might include physical servers running Azure Stack, or Windows Server or virtual machines running Windows Server. An app used for all points of Azure integration in Windows Admin Center, including Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication to the gateway. A Windows VM installed with the Windows Admin Center gateway that hosts web services that users can connect to. An organizational firewall configured to allow users access to the Windows Admin Center gateway when the gateway is deployed on-premises. A private local area network that runs within an organization. The architecture consists of the following: The second diagram illustrates Windows Admin Center deployed on-premises.ĭownload a Visio file of these architectures. The first diagram illustrates Windows Admin Center deployed to a VM in Azure.
