Windows Admin Center SDK (Preview)

Welcome to the Windows Admin Center SDK! Windows Admin Center is an evolution of Windows Server in-box management tools; a locally deployed, browser-based management experience that supports scenarios where customers need full control of all aspects of their deployment, including private networks which aren’t Internet-connected.

The Windows Admin Center SDK is currently in public preview.

What is included in the SDK

Windows Admin Center contains three main extensibility points: tools, solutions, and gateway plugins. The SDK contains content and examples to guide you in building extensions for all of these points:

• Developer Tools is a solution extension containing a rich collection of sample functionality and tool examples that you can browse and use in your own extension. Developer Tools is a fully functioning extension that can be side-loaded into Windows Admin Center in Developer Mode.

• IFrame Example is a sample extension containing the configuration necessary to load an existing web application into Windows Admin Center in an IFrame. Use this as a guide in building your own tool extension that uses an IFrame.

• Solution Example is a sample extension configured as a solution. Use this as a guide in building your own solution extension.

• Extension Template is an empty project you can use to build your own custom extension for Windows Admin Center. This project is ready for you to clone and start building your own tool or solution extension.
