Windows Admin Center CLI

The Windows Admin Center CLI was created to simplify the process of generating new tools for the platform.

Usage

There is only one command for the CLI, "Create". In order to create a new tool, type the following:

wac create --company <Your Company Name> --tool<Your Tool Name>

For instance, when creating a tool called Foo for Microsoft, my command would be:

wac create --company Microsoft --tool Foo

You can also use the CLI to create solution extensions as well:

wac create --company Microsoft --tool Foo --solution MySolution

In addition to creating extensions, you can specify which version of the SDK you want to utilize. There are 3 rings for you to choose from:

• latest (the most current GA release, 2 updates per year)
• insider (build most recently released to Insiders. Updates monthly)
• next (current dev build. Updates frequently, up to weekly)

In order to specify which SDK version you want to use, add the version tag to the create command:

wac create --company Microsoft --tool Foo --version insider

Default value is latest.
