Posted on 05/01/202002/06/2023 Christian By Christian No Comments on Fix Certificate Error: Unable to access Windows Admin Center from the Web

Windows Admin Center is a locally deployed, browser-based app for managing Windows servers, clusters, hyper-converged infrastructure, as well as Windows 10 PCs. It is a free product and is ready to use in production. When prompted with an error when trying to access WAC from other browsers saying the site is not secure. In this guide, I will show you how to fix Certificate Error: Unable to access Windows Admin Center from the Web. Please see How to upgrade Windows Admin Center, How to setup Windows Admin Center on a Windows Server, How to setup Windows Admin Center on a Windows Server, how to Transfer Data from Windows to MAC, and How to mount a USB Drive in Linux.

A self-signed certificate option was selected during the first installation.
