The Central Administration home page is a SharePoint
Foundation 2010 site; it has its own site settings and WSS “look and
feel.” You can add functionality to the page if you want, or you can
even customize the page. Central Administration has four items located
above the Central Administration title, which is also a hyperlink that
will allow you to return to this main page from within the Central
Administration site at any time. The following four actions, located on
the upper left side of the screen shown in Figure 1, are available to you for navigation or customization of the Central Administration home page.
1. Central Administration Site Actions Menu
Because the Central Administration is a SharePoint site, the Site Actions list, shown in Figure 2,
is available. This option allows you to perform the same actions to
your Central Administration site as you would any other SharePoint 2010
site.
This Site Action menu can be used to perform the following tasks for the Central Administration site.
Edit Page Modify the Central Administration home page Web Parts.
