# tabadmin

Beginning with version 2018.2, Tableau Server on Windows uses Tableau Services Manager (TSM). TSM replaces the legacy tabadmin command utility and the Tableau Server Configuration tool. If you have installed or upgraded to Tableau Server on Windows 2018.2 or later, you need to use TSM to configure and manage Tableau Server. For more information about TSM, see [Migrate from Tabadmin to the TSM CLI](https://help.tableau.com/v2021.4/server/en-gb/tabadmin_to_tsm_cli.htm).
