XCP-NG Center

XCP-NG Center is a community maintained project that provides a management option for XCP-NG on Windows. 

As noted by both the repository owner and XCP-NG documentation, the XCP-NG Center is not a currently, actively mainatred community project. Use Xen Orchestra instead for day to day XCP-NG administration, and use XCP-NG Center in a pinch or to quick start setting up the first VM. 

XCP-NG Center can be found at https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin
