When you first install Windows Server 2022 and you log in, the first screen that you’re greeted with is Server Manager (see Figure 1-3). This screen gives you a central area to do all the configuration tasks you need to do on your server. It presents a handy menu to manage all the roles and features installed on your server as well.

Server Manager will allow you to manage remote servers, not just the local server. The remote servers need to be added to Server Manager before they can be managed, and some firewall ports may need to be opened to allow full functionality. After remote servers are added, you can run PowerShell against them and perform basic management tasks like shutting down, connecting via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), and so on. You can manage up to 100 remote servers with Server Manager. This number may be lower depending on what you’re running on the manage servers. If you’re running large workloads, then you may not be able to manage as many.

Server Manager can be used to manage the same operating system it’s installed on, as well as operating systems that are older than what is installed. It can’t manage the operating system on a server that’s running a newer version of the operating system. For example, a server running Server Manager on Server 2019 can’t manage a server running Windows Server 2022.

Figure 1-4 shows some of the options available through the Server Manager menu. You may notice that Remote Desktop Connection is grayed out. This is because I was logged on the server that is in the window.
