The error you're encountering, "Failed to create self signed certificate. Error: A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Security Descriptor,'" typically occurs due to issues related to permissions or misconfiguration in certificate handling.
Here's how you might address it:

1. Verify Command Parameters:
   Ensure that all command parameters you're using are correctly formatted and compatible with your system's configuration.
2. Check PowerShell Version:
   Verify that you're using a version of PowerShell that supports the command and parameters you're attempting to use. Older versions might not have the 'Security Descriptor' parameter.
3. Administrative Rights:
   Make sure you have the necessary administrative privileges. Running PowerShell or Command Prompt as an administrator is crucial for handling certificates.
4. Update Windows:
   Ensure that your Windows system is fully updated, as some updates related to security might resolve this issue.
5. Certificate Store:
   Check if there's a proper configuration in the certificate store where you are trying to add or generate the self-signed certificate.
6. Windows Admin Center Version:
   Make sure your Windows Admin Center is updated to the latest version as some bugs in older versions can be resolved with updates.
7. Alternative Approach:
   Consider manually creating a self-signed certificate using external tools or scripts that bypass the specific parameter that causes this error.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, consider checking if there are additional logs or error messages that might provide more context on what is failing. If further assistance is needed, sharing those logs or details might help in pinpointing the problem.

Hi, I can't log in to Windows Admin Center on Windows Server 2012R2.

Windows Admin Center and Windows Remote Management Services are running, but I can't access them through a browser

So everything should be working but it's not

Here are some steps to troubleshoot your access issues with Windows Admin Center on Windows Server 2012R2:

1. Service and Network Verification:
   • Ensure that SmeDesktop.exe or ServerManagementGateway is running. You can verify this in the Task Manager under the Services tab.
   • Use PowerShell to check network connectivity:
     Test-NetConnection -Port <port-number> -ComputerName <gateway-name-or-ip> -InformationLevel Detailed
   • Replace <port-number> and <gateway-name-or-ip> with your actual data.
2. Browser Compatibility:
   • Ensure you're using supported browsers like Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, as they are more compatible with Windows Admin Center.
3. TLS and Certificate Issues:
   • Modify registry settings to address any potential HTTP/2 or TLS security protocol issues:
     • Open Registry Editor (regedit) and navigate to:
       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
     • Add or modify the following DWORD (32-bit) values:
     • EnableHttp2Cleartext set to 0.
     • EnableHttp2Tls set to 0.
     • Reboot the server after making these changes.
4. SSL Certificates:
   • If using self-signed certificates, consider replacing them with CA-issued certificates to avoid trust issues.
5. Environment Variables:
   • Ensure that the PSModulePath environment variable is correctly configured, as it tells PowerShell where to locate necessary modules.

By methodically working through these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue or at least narrow down the root cause. If further assistance is needed, feel free to provide additional specifics!

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue with Windows Admin Center 2410 not working, even though services are running:

1. Verify Running Services:
   • Open the Task Manager and ensure that the SmeDesktop.exe or ServerManagementGateway is running. If not, restart these services.
2. Test Network Connection:
   • Use the PowerShell command Test-NetConnection to ensure that the software is reachable over the network. Replace <port-number> and <gateway-name-or-ip> with your actual data:
     Test-NetConnection -Port <port-number> -ComputerName <gateway-name-or-ip> -InformationLevel Detailed
   • This will help you identify if there are any network issues.
3. Browser Compatibility:
   • Make sure you are using either Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, as these browsers are known to work well with Windows Admin Center.
4. Handle TLS and Security Protocols:
   • Open the Registry Editor and navigate to:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
   • Create two DWORD (32-bit) values:
     • EnableHttp2Cleartext set to 0.
     • EnableHttp2Tls set to 0.
   • Reboot the server to apply these changes. This addresses potential HTTP/2 and TLS issues that might be interfering with Windows Admin Center connections.
5. SSL Certificate Issues:
   • If using a self-signed certificate, consider replacing it with one from a known Certificate Authority (CA) to resolve trust issues.
6. Software Updates:
   • Ensure Windows Admin Center and your operating system are fully updated, as updates might resolve compatibility or security-related issues.

By working through these steps, you should be able to identify and rectify the cause of the issue with Windows Admin Center 2410. Let me know if you have more questions or if you need further assistance!
