Use Windows Admin Center to review logs

  • 5 minutes

Windows Admin Center is a web-based console that you can use to manage computers that are running Windows Server and Windows 10. Typically, you use Windows Admin Center to manage servers instead of using Remote Server Administration Tools.

Tip

Windows Admin Center works with any browser that’s compliant with modern standards, and you can install it on computers that run Windows 10 and Windows Server.

Review event logs

You can use Windows Admin Center to review logs on added server computers. For example, the following screenshot displays the Windows System log. The administrator has selected a warning event with the ID of 10020. This event relates to the DHCP service running on the target server.
