As infrastructure and deployments become more hybrid in nature, where we have workloads spread
across clouds, the management effort to control all these different areas increases exponentially. This
is obviously a bad thing and we want to be able to provide a more controlled way to manage
resources which might exist on-premises but also in Azure.

Server management tools (SMT) introduces a web-based GUI hosted in Azure and command-line
tools that can do this for your Windows Server 2016 estate. For instance, your administrators can
manage Nano Server or server core easily from this GUI without affecting the footprint of those
deployments.

The tool currently has the following capabilities
 View and change system configuration
 View performance across various resources and manage processes and services
 Manage devices attached to the server
 View event logs
 View the list of installed roles and features
 Use a Windows PowerShell console to manage and automate
