When installing WSUS there should be a checkbox to not install WID. Windows Admin Center should not assume WID will be used but on first screen prompt user for option to store DB in SQL Server.

When installing a new role, some kind of status would be helpful. I am trying to install IIS and after I hit the install button, I don't know if it's actually doing anything.

Add Management tools for Installed Roles/Features of Managed Servers in Project Honolulu. (e.g. Active Directory Users and Computers if Managing a Domain Controller)

Depending on wich roles/features are installed, you get the appropriate MMC Snap-Ins web-based in the tools section

Just installed a new DC, used Admin Center to add the AD DS role and after, it just states successful but doesn't prompt me to do a DC Promo. It should have a notification or link.

This doesn't work. It fails

Error

Failed to initialize Roles and Features, Error: RemoteException: Exception calling "Translate" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated.".

I am connected as a domain Admin. It works fine on member server

The checkboxes on the Roles and Features page are white on a white background. They should be better visible

I can't access Roles and Features from the Windows Admin Center I get this error.
Failed to initialize Roles and Features, Error: RemoteException: Exception calling "Translate" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated."

This machine is a domain controller and I have seen on this site that it should work with a newer version of WAC. I have Version 2009 Build 1.2.2009.21002. Administering Server 2019

Allow the opportunity to install / manage the same roles or features across multiple servers at once.

Example. 10 host hyper-v cluster. Allow hyper-v role to be installed with default settings to all 10 hosts at once.

Add the Failover cluster role to all 10 servers at once.

Install file server services to multiple hosts at once, etc.

Do not show the tools if it does not apply to the particular server.

When a Domain Controller is not hyper-v host, I do not want to see tools like Virtual Machines and Virtual Switches.

I would only like to see the tools that apply to the server, tools that belong to the installed roles and features. On a Domain Controller managment tools such as ADDS, DNS DHCP and a file server DFS and File and Resource management.

I wanted to install .NET Framework 3.5 Features. When I clicked on it, it said "Nothing to Install: None of the selected roles and features are available to be installed .... " When I check the Roles & Features it says .NET Framework 3.5 ==> Removed. Does it mean we cannot install 3.5 at all? Kindly clarify

WAC should be able to manage Server Roles and features. Like DNS, DHCP etc.

BASIC of Server Manager:

Why can't you take the server manager roles & feature install/Removal and add it to WAC ???

Windows Server is about ROLES & FEATURES,
putting the binaries for a role on a server without configuring it is useless. Every role & feature on win server has a few configs that is needed to be completely install, Microsoft known these configs & can ask for them upfront, so WHY ?????

If I go on "Roles and Features" I get a Remote Exception (see pict attached).

current behaviour:
roles and features in Windows 10 are displayed by the Powershell Names

expected behaviour:
they should be displayed in the table by their displaynames just as when you manage Windows Server

I want to configure AD role after installation

Make tools for Roles available to add if the role is installed already. Admin center only seems to install tools for roles it installs. I have Hyper-v host that I cant seem to get the management tools available in Admin center.
