1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,880
Lastly, I want to sign in to Windows Admin Center here.

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:10,820
This web portal factors in a fair amount on both AZ‑800 and AZ‑801,

3
00:00:10,820 --> 00:00:13,640
so I want to make sure that we give it time.

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,020
It's a web application that you can install.

5
00:00:17,020 --> 00:00:19,750
In fact, when you install it on a Windows Server box,

6
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:21,330
it gets installed as a service,

7
00:00:21,330 --> 00:00:26,110
so it's a gateway that you can support multiple connections from,

8
00:00:26,110 --> 00:00:29,540
and I've signed into my local instance here.

9
00:00:29,540 --> 00:00:32,540
And if I select my server,

10
00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:36,990
I can look at the default extensions here of which we have Firewall.

11
00:00:36,990 --> 00:00:43,060
So if we mosey on over, we can see our domain profile is enabled,

12
00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:45,660
actually, it looks like all three are available.

13
00:00:45,660 --> 00:00:48,970
And then we can review our incoming and outgoing rules.

14
00:00:48,970 --> 00:00:53,790
What you'll find is a general trend with Windows Admin Center is that

15
00:00:53,790 --> 00:00:58,160
it offers not all, but a subset of functionality that you can find

16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,240
otherwise in a Microsoft Management Console.

17
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,220
For example, I can select this rule and disable,

18
00:01:04,220 --> 00:01:07,740
delete, depending unless it's a pre‑made one.

19
00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:11,060
Settings is going to give us a lot of, actually,

20
00:01:11,060 --> 00:01:16,330
it looks like the majority of the options that we see in the MMC Console,

21
00:01:16,330 --> 00:01:19,740
at least it allows us to review those settings.

22
00:01:19,740 --> 00:01:24,980
And then if we take a look at New, this is pretty basic indeed, as you can see.

23
00:01:24,980 --> 00:01:29,890
It looks like we're just limited in Windows Admin Center creating a port rule.

24
00:01:29,890 --> 00:01:34,950
So that again speaks to my point that as a central Web Management Console,

25
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:39,260
I found in my work experience, it's pretty good for reporting,

26
00:01:39,260 --> 00:01:44,750
not as good for creation and updating because the general trend to repeat

27
00:01:44,750 --> 00:01:49,660
it is that your surfacing or they're surfacing a subset of the

28
00:01:49,660 --> 00:01:53,340
capabilities that are available locally on that server.

29
00:01:53,340 --> 00:02:00,000
But you certainly need to know about Windows Admin Center for your exam success for sure.
