Microsoft Windows Admin Center (Microsoft WAC) is a locally deployed, browser-based app for managing Windows servers,
clusters, hyper-converged infrastructure. To know how Microsoft Windows Admin Center supports different deployment

Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Microsoft Windows Admin Center (OMIMSWAC) is a Microsoft Windows Admin Center
(Microsoft WAC) extension which inherits all the infrastructure services provided by the Microsoft WAC framework. For
example, OMIMSWAC extension leverages the security services such as authorization, authentication, network security, and
data security from Microsoft WAC framework.
The Dell EMC OpenManage Integration with Microsoft Windows Admin Center can be installed in one of the following methods:
● By using the Microsoft's public Windows Admin Center NuGet feed.
● By using a local path or a network share as package source for installation.

After installation, OMIMSWAC appears as a Windows Admin Center extension.
To manage a cluster/server, connect to the cluster/server using "Manage as" option and provide appropriate cluster/
server administrator credentials. And ensure that the user is part of the local user group of gateway administrators. For
more information about selecting "Manage as", see the Get Started with Windows Admin Center section in the Microsoft
