Could be something i have set domain wide in Internet Settings that is the issue.

This does have some interesting stuff.
You can see all certificates on a server quite easily. You can filter by expired ones. Tons of those on my DCs for some reason.
You can do Remote Desktop from this console so it could replace rdcman possibly.
You can disable certain Event log types from this as well. -
Does anybody know how to add groups or a list of computers from an OU?
Adding them one by one currently. Glad i dont have thousands of machines to manage. -
When you click Add Server there is an Import Servers option

Yes. It doesnt work unless you set Internet Security setting in inetcpl.cpl to Medium.
Then it still wont work in Firefox, you must use Edge, you will then get a crypto api key 'Allow Prompt', then it will load in Edge.
-
@tim_g I already said it wont work in FF. Does anybody have it working on Medium High Internet Security settings?
-
Also, dont make a mistake when entering computer names from a text file. If you export a list from ADUC and import it without deleting the Type and Description fields, the importer will import NameTypeDescription as the computer name.
You will then be unable to manage or remove these devices from the Windows Admin Center. Still trying to find out where this data is stored so i can purge it. -
That seems like a pretty basic oversight. You can't remove things easily from the main interface?
-
@scottalanmiller You can unless the name is imported wrong from a list. if you type in a computer name that doesnt exist it wont import. But from a list it just adds them all in the list and if the list is wrong you cant remove them afterwards. Unless i need to do something other than click checkbox next to bad computer name, then click Remove, because that doesnt work.

WAC is working extremely well with our servers.
It's working great in Chrome on Windows and Linux.
This is the what Windows should have had a long time ago, it's awesome.
In Edge, it just doesn't work.
I get this when clicking on a server:
-
It was a messy setup and doesn't work with most browsers. I started laughing when I got the cert prompt.

Cert prompt?

Why, you would expect a self signed unless you replace it.

Sorry, not that I wasn't expecting it since it is self-signed. Just after having it not work with anything but Edge, it was just one more thing to get through and I was nearly done at that point. But I couldn't get it working with Edge very quickly to try it out (got more errors) so I eventually just uninstalled it.

Why would edge not give you errors on a self signed cert unless edge is broken?

Edge would act the same as IE, I mean you would expect that after the SSL Cert warning anything else would work better but you it is always a feature with MS
