Without the Graphical User Interface (GUI), it's not easy to carry out the daily management and maintenance of Windows Server. For this reason, Microsoft integrated Nano Server with all the existing graphical tools that you are familiar with such as Hyper-V Manager, failover cluster manager, Server Manager, registry editor, file explorer, disk and device manager, Server configuration, computer management, users and groups console, and so on.
