### Windows Admin Center Extension manager
Windows Admin Center (WAC) (formerly Project Honolulu) is the new, modern tool for managing servers, Hyper-V, clusters and even Windows 10 clients. Other than being fully HTML 5 driven it can integrate with third-party software via an Extension manager. All components within WAC is an extension, this means you can install, update, and delete individual components without re-installing the whole application.

As announced [WAC SDK](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/extend/how-sdk-works) is now in [public preview](https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/windowsserver/2018/05/03/building-the-windows-admin-center-ecosystem-with-partners-sdk-preview-release/), meaning you and everyone else can build integrations with WAC. Luckily I have tested one integration already, and I have to say that the future looks promising.
### Windows Admin Center integration with SCOM
I’ve been fortunate to be able to work closely with the team over at [SquaredUp](http://squaredup.com/) for many years now. At some point early 2018 they reached out and asked if I had looked in to Microsoft’s new server management tool, project Honolulu. SquaredUp told me they where working closely with the Windows Server team to make an integration with SCOM/SquaredUp and Honolulu.
Working for a large service provider in Norway we have many tools to provide management for our clients and a big priority is to integrate them to provide better visibility. I was immediately interested to integrate SCOM with Windows Admin Center. After installing the extension through extension manager you can access monitoring and historic performance data directly within server manager.

Top 3 for integrating SCOM and Windows Admin Center

- Alerts within Microsoft’s latest management tool
- Historic performance data combined with live telemetry
- Maintenance mode directly from server manager

[Sign up for the integration with SquaredUp and Windows Admin Center](https://squaredup.com/product/honolulu/windows-admin-center-extension) and install the extension via Extension Manager.
 
This is another good reason to drop interactive logons and [get Windows Admin Center a](https://aka.ms/WindowsAdminCenter)nd I expect more to come over the next couple of days. If rumors are true we have some cool extensions showcased in this [Microsoft Build 2018 session](https://mybuild.microsoft.com/sessions?p1=eyJzcGVha2VyIjpbXSwidGltZXNsb3QiOltdLCJkYXkiOltdLCJyb29tIjpbXSwibG9jYXRpb24iOltdLCJzdGFydCI6IiIsImZpbmlzaCI6IiIsInBhZ2VudW1iZXIiOjEsImNhdGVnb3JpZXMiOnt9LCJrZXl3b3JkIjoiYWRtaW4gY2VudGVyIn0%3D).
 
PS:
One way integration is cool, but I don’t see any reason for not to integrate WAC in other applications. If you feel the same way, please [add your vote over at UserVoice to make that happen](https://windowsserver.uservoice.com/forums/295071-management-tools/suggestions/34048105-allow-windows-admin-center-to-be-embedded-in-other?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=62425228&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8kKAlILgp6HftTGvPrWmM4kHrxe3xYvwpl9kOsy95g1xckgSYW52eWtFHjnQJwntDk4-kpW1j44iGZkYP8ra38EY6Bfw&_hsmi=62425228)
