Do not automatically show gateway host in "All connections" view
My gateway server is like a Jump Server, so I don't want it to be compulsorily displayed on the "All connections" view.
Please give us an option to prevent this default connection item. But still allows the server to be explicitly added by the user or through Shared Connections.3 votes -

Credentials 'Manage as' not saved
Credentials "Manage as" which are entered at a connection are not saved. When I restart the session to WAC, the credentials must be entered again.
I use WAC from my client computer, which connects to the Gateway. I would like to use my admin account for connecting to the machines. WAC always uses my personal non-admin account per default.4 votes -
Powershell and RDP SSO for Gateway Mode
Currently when deploying Windows Admin Center in Gateway Mode, Extension tools such as Powershell and RDP do no support SSO experience(even with RBCD). Manual Authentication is a Must to get access to this Tools. This becomes a Show stopper when using Smart Card Authentication, as password prompt doesn't offer Smartcard login.
One would expect SSO for all tools however the expected behavior should be a Prompt that supports Smart based based login instead of Password.
Can this be added as a feature update?

Save Performance Monitor captures in WAC
I stopped by the Windows Admin Center booth at Ignite and discovered the new Performance Monitor in WAC is not capable of capturing performance data to a file. If there is a need to capture data over time then you need to revert back to the "old" Performance Monitor. It would be nice to have this capability added to the new Performance Monitor in WAC. Hopefully this is already on the road map but if not hopefully it will find its way there.

[Intune] Intune Connector for Windows Admin Center

show Windows Update on Dashboard
It will be a good Idea to select more than one server and have it search for updates.. instead of one by one.. Once a month I have to spend hours just on waiting for the servers to apply the updates.. it will be a great Idea to centralize that...

WAC 1910 - Cluster Create Function is not enabling RDMA on NetAdapter or VmNetAdapter
WAC 1910 in Gateway Mode.
Cluster Creation Function is not enabling RDMA on an RDMA capable NIC, or the VNIC when using the Wizard.
Tested with Datacenter 2019 v1910 and 10Gb Chelsio T520 NICs latest drivers.
The SET vswitch is created for storage, but SMBx vNIC RDMA was not enabled.1 vote -
Enable CSV Cache and View CSV Cache Performance Dashboard
Currently we have to enable CSV caching via PowerShell which is not a big problem, however it would be great if this could be enabled in the WAC GUI along with stats in dashboard form that demonstrate the memory consumed by VM's, by the Hypervisor and what is available to enable as CSV Cache. Also if memory demands increase, due to added VM's or live migration, an indication that allocated CSV cache memory has been reduced.

[Multi-Machine] [Virtual Machines] windows updates for VMs

why is admin center download in the eval section??????
Why is Admin Center now an eval download??? This should be a direct download, you should want the community to download it and use it!! I just got done presenting to one of my hosting channels and told people to download it and start using it, only to find out you moved it to a server eval page requiring info that leads to a future sales calls. How is this a good decision!!

Performance Monitor WAC
I like the performance counter in WAC. But I will still use Grafana for these reasons:
I would like to choose the display unit: change bytes/sec in Gbyte/s for example
Change the decimal (no decimal for example for reads/sec or write/sec counter)
On the reports, have thresholds with different colors2 votes -
Improve connection search to find words across multiple tags
We are planning on using Shared Connections to automatically create connections all servers across the company (around 2000) for all Admins, and use individual, standardised tags on each connection to identify OS, AD Domain, AD Site, Business Service, etc. If we search for a single word within the tags, all connections that have tags that match the searched word will be displayed. If, however, we enter two separate words that should be found across separate tags, the connection list will not display any connections.
Improving the connection search to find any word in any tag (or attribute) across the connection…

Windows Admin Center CSV Capacity
Currently, when adding a regular Failover Cluster - you are not able to see the used capacity column unless you click on each CSV. It would be great to have used and total capacity columns for CSVs.

Allow resizing width of performance monitor counters
The performance monitor is a great addition to the WAC, however it's annoying that you can only add counters as a "row".
It would be great to be able to put at least some counters side by side, so that you could, for example, see all processor cores at a glance - at the moment, you'd need to scroll a long way to see the performance of all 64 cores..!
