From what I see this new server OS is long overdue replacing an ancient server OS...

One of the first things Microsoft did when trimming down its OS was to eliminate the GUI layer. In fact, Nano Server does not support local access of any kind. All management is done remotely, via a combination of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and PowerShell – or more accurately, Core PowerShell, a new formulation of Redmond's command line that runs on the Core CLR, rather than the full .Net runtime.
But this change was about more than just space savings. It was also about dragging the Windows admin community into the world of the modern data center – kicking and screaming, if need be. To Snover, the concept of Windows admins managing their infrastructure via GUIs tools running locally on servers is a relic of the past.
I always hated working on MS servers. In fact when I started my business I wouldn't take work that involved them. I had a buddy that would so I sent it to him.
