Why Server Manager?

In layman’s language, Server Manager is a tool available on Windows to manage any Windows Server OS running system whether it is on a local or remote machine. Although as a management console, it is by default available on Windows Server OS, however, on desktop OS of Windows such as 11 or 10, users need to install it manually. The key task of SM is to allow users to manage the remote server without accessing it physically or using the RDP. Using a Server manager system administrators can perform various tasks such as server role and feature management, server group management, remote management, performance monitoring, multi-server management, role-based access, and security, and can perform integration with other tools.

So, being an IT Admin or just learning how the Windows server environment works, here in this guide we learn the steps to install the Server Manager on Windows 11 or 10 Desktops which is a part of the RSAT tool suite (Remote Server Administration Tools)

What do we need?

To perform this tutorial, users’ Windows 11 or 10 systems must be using either professional or enterprise edition OS because Windows Home officially doesn’t support it. Apart from that, we need a working internet connection to download the required files for completing the installation process.

Не так давно Microsoft выпустила очень интересный инструмент Диспетчер серверов (Remote Server Administration Tools). Данный пакет дал возможность системным администраторам наглядно видеть состояние всех Windows серверов и запущенных на них сервисов.

В интернете существует огромное количество статей про данный инструмент и причина для появления ещё одной, очевидно должна быть не тривиальной. И такая причина есть – это возможность мониторинга и управления серверами с ноутбука или компьютера, которые не входят в один домен с администрируемыми серверами, что может быть очень актуально, например, для приходящего сисадмина.

Установка

Прежде чем переходить к основному вопросу нашей статьи кратко разберём один из вариантов установки.

Для начала нужно скачать с сайта Microsoft соответствующий вашей операционной системе установочный пакет. Для Windows 10 для этого пройдите по следующей ссылке, выберите язык, после чего вам будет доступен список доступных пакетов для выбранного вами языка:

Обратите внимание, здесь вам нужно выбрать тип операционной системы x64 или x86, а также версию установленной ОС Windows. Версию ОС Windows можно узнать, выполнив, например, команду winver в командной строке Windows:

А моём случае это версия 1803, а так как у меня установлена 64-ёх разрядная версия, я буду скачивать установочный пакет WindowsTH-RSAT_WS_1803-x64.msu.

После установки данного пакета открываем папку C:\Windows\System32 и запускаем приложение ServerManager.exe

При необходимости вы можете создать ярлык для данного приложения на рабочем столе или закрепить его на Панели задач.

Добавление серверов в «Диспетчер серверов»

Для добавления серверов, которым мы хотим управлять открываем Управление -> Добавление серверов.

В открывшемся окне нам нужна вкладка DNS (ну или вы можете создать текстовый файл со списком IP-адресов ваших серверов и воспользоваться вкладкой Импорт). Вводим в строке поиска IP-адрес или имя нашего сервера, жмём лупу и добавляем нужный сервер в список:

После того, как все сервера добавлены в список жмём ОК:

Если серверы находятся в вашем домене и у вас есть права Администратора, то на этом настройку Диспетчера серверов можно заканчивать.

Если же серверы находятся в неродном для вашего ПК домене, придётся выполнить ещё ряд настроек.

Настройка доступа к серверам

Если после добавления серверов на странице «Все серверы» вы видите следующую картину:

То вам необходимо выполнить следующие действия:

  1. Убедиться, что пользователь, который осуществляет доступ к серверам обладает правами Администратора данных серверов или домена, при необходимости установить в настройках подключения соответствующего пользователя.
  2. Если ваш ПК и серверы находятся в разных доменах необходимо прописать все управляемы серверы в списке доверенных хостов вашего ПК.

Определяем пользователя

Для того, чтобы определить или изменить пользователя, кликаем правой кнопкой мыши на соответствующем сервере на странице «Все серверы» Диспетчера серверов и выбираем пункт меню «Управлять как…».

В открывшемся окне вводим полное имя пользователя включая домен, например admin@mytestdomen.ru и его пароль.

Добавляем серверы в список доверенных хостов

Для добавления сервера в список доверенных хостов, необходимо открыть командную строку с правами администратора, после чего выполнить в ней следующий запрос:

winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts = «10.0.0.10»}

Где 10.0.0.10 – IP-адрес добавляемого сервера, вместо которого можно использовать имя соответствующего сервера, например sr-ad1.mytestdomen.ru

После чего в списке серверов у вас произойдут примерно такие изменения:

image

Но при попытке добавить следующий сервер, вы столкнётесь с тем, что запись предыдущего сервера будет затираться и активным будет оставаться только последний. Чтобы этого избежать необходимо запустить в командной строке команду, которая добавить в список доверенных хостов все необходимые нам сервера сразу. Для это перечисляем все наши серверы через запятую, примерно так:

winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts = «10.0.0.10, 10.0.0.11, 10.0.0.12, 10.0.0.13»}

Если вы всё сделали верно наслаждаемся возможностью управлять серверами со своего рабочего ноутбука.

Надеюсь, данная статья была вам полезна.
