What’s new in Windows Admin Center 2511 $$$Platform updates  $$$Installer $$$The Windows Admin Center installer in version 2410 had some gaps. We’ve heard ample feedback about the installer experience and have worked to address several of these in 2511. $$$$$$Silent install commands $$$In Windows Admin Center version 2410; we did not include many command line install operations. We know that many of you install Windows Admin Center through the command line because you’re using Server Core or would like to automate your Windows Admin Center deployments. With this release; we’ve restored command line silent installation support and added a few extra arguments as well. The following arguments can now be used: $$$$$$/Silent$$$/VerySilent$$$/HTTPSPortNumber$$$/CertificateThumbprint $$$In addition to the command line installation; your Windows Admin Center configuration can always be modified with the PowerShell Configuration script module; which can be found at the following file path:$$$%Program Files%\WindowsAdminCenter\PowerShellModules\Microsoft.WindowsAdminCenter.Configuration $$$$$$Cert troubleshooting $$$The management of software certificates is a necessary component to product lifecycle management; but it isn’t always easy. When we upgraded the Windows Admin Center backend with version 2410; we also changed the way certificates are handled by Windows Admin Center. We’ve created new documentation that can assist in the process of updating your Windows Admin Center certificate or troubleshooting certificate issues. $$$$$$Localization $$$In this release; we’ve addressed an issue where users upgrading to Windows Admin Center versions 2410 or later were unable to migrate to the new backend successfully. This issue was due to certificates being improperly processed because of a localization error in one of the Windows Admin Center scripts. After updating; users were unable to launch the latest version of Windows Admin Center successfully. $$$$$$Logging $$$We have heard your feedback; and the WAC installer now supports enterprise-ready logging by writing installation details to the Windows Event Log. This provides centralized visibility for IT teams; improves compliance; and simplifies troubleshooting. $$$$$$Other bugfixes$$$Weve fixed an issue where some installations were failing on Windows Server 2022 systems and older
