# SharePoint 2010 Central Administration

In this blog I am going to explain how to start SharePoint 2010 Central Administration after [installing SharePoint](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/320/sharepoint-server-displays-a-blank-page-after-installing-sharepoint) [Foundation](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/157275/passed-peoplecert-it-infrastructure-library-itil-4-foundation-exam-today) Server in Windows 7.\

After the successful [installation](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/711/php-installation-on-windows) of SharePoint Foundation Server, you will get the SharePoint 2010 Central Administration page with various options.

But sometimes we get a blank page while running **SharePoint** 2010 Central Administration, then in that situation you have to run the following command on cmd ([command prompt](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/51716/how-to-make-bootable-pendrive-using-cmd-windows-command-prompt)):

```
start /w pkgmgr /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-StaticContent;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ASPNET;IIS-NetFxExtensibility;IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics;IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-LoggingLibraries;IIS-RequestMonitor;IIS-HttpTracing;IIS-CustomLogging;IIS-ManagementScriptingTools;IIS-Security;IIS-BasicAuthentication;IIS-WindowsAuthentication;IIS-DigestAuthentication;IIS-RequestFiltering;IIS-Performance;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IIS-HttpCompressionDynamic;IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility;IIS-Metabase;IIS-WMICompatibility;WAS-WindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI;WCF-HTTP-Activation;WCF-NonHTTP-Activation
```

After executing the above command open the IIS [manager](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13000/perks-of-implementing-a-quotation-manager) (inetmgr) and [double click](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/155692/what-is-dfp-double-click-for-publisher) on [Authentication](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/177/authentication-and-authorization-in-asp-dot-net) option.

Enable the Windows Authentication and disable [Anonymous](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/1140/what-is-anonymous-class-in-java) Authentication and then run the **SharePoint 2010 Central Administration.**

When you run a **SharePoint 2010 Central Administration** you will get the page with various options.

Thanks for [reading](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/126273/books-commonly-found-on-college-reading-lists) this blog. I think this will help you a lot.
