Windows Admin Center extensions for XCP?
-
Didn't know where to put this, so here it is.
Has anyone developed any Windows Admin Center (WAC) extensions to manage and monitor XCP-NG? Big learning curve for me, but this might be a worthwhile investment in my time sometime soon. Just wondering if anyone else has fooled with this in the past?
While this is "for windows" it can do a lot of other things like talk to your iDrac and iLO. Mostly I use WAC for some simple Windows tasks, but it would be nice to have a little XCP-NG/XO control while I'm in there. Since I haven't gone down this path yet, I'm assuming that I can have WAC make some API calls similar to how XO makes those calls. Just a theory but thought I would ask and maybe get people thinking about yet another way to manage our systems.

Personally a PowerShell module for XO sounds more interesting. (No promises though)

Yes, it's in the backlog

Which one, powershell or WAC. They are kind of one in the same when you look at how WAC makes the calls to do the work, there's a button to reveal the powershell behind the button clicks so you might be able to get both at once.
But WAC draws nice graphs and gives us a GUI to get the work done. Yes I know, real Admins don't use GUI. Whatever, AI will eat our jobs anyway, just trying to stick it out another 9 years at this point.
When I get time, I'll still probably take a swing at this task for WAC, because to me this would be valuable. Big learning curve though.
Now if MS would finally add Group Policy to WAC and fix some of the DHCP and DNS features that are still in preview...
