      I keep many of the Windows servers added to it, and the Hyper-V hosts. One of our hosts has 60+ VMs and it handles that well. It feels the same as if there were 1 VM to manage, so size doesn't seem to matter when open in WAC.

        My gripe is the number of times you need to put in a username/password. Other than that, I have no complaints of the features so far.

          Oh that's likely because youre using Fedora, which doesn't have Edge.
          On Win10 with Edge, i never get prompted. edit: Not never, just once a day.

            Are you logged on with domain admin rights or something?

              @jaredbusch I set my Manage As username/pw as a domain admin. It lasts for the session. So once a day i have to enter them or more if i close Edge.

                Ah, once a day is not never. SO yeah, I can get behind that.

                    I'll have to check. But we run it from Windows, and I thought it was on Edge, and did the same thing. Easily 10+ times entering username/password to do almost anything.

                      I used it on Edge in Windows too, I think it prompts there too, but not as much.

                      I did look for certificate based authentication, but didn't' find any option for that except via Smartcard.

                        And once in a while, we get boxes that it can't manage, with no explanation. Just... doesn't connect.

                          I have liked it so far in Google Chrome, very easy to use. The prompts for remote desktop yes kinda of annoying but I can live with it.

                            @momurda i have it installed on a workstation and i like it. its not great for everything but it works. the powershell works fine. occasionally it doesnt connect to something but ive found that winrm isnt set up on remote machine. i never have to re-login unless i restart my machine so maybe every few days i guess.

                              @scottalanmiller The most login prompts are using it in Chrome.

                              Chrome has a bug regarding the websockets protocol and NTLM authentication. This effects the following tools: Events, PowerShell, Remote Desktop.

                                Ah, good to know. That might exacerbate it.
