Nano Server administration using 5nine Manager

5nine Manager from 5nine software (http://www.5nine.com/) provides a centralized and easy-to-use graphical user interface. It allows administrators to create, manage, and monitor their Nano Server clusters, hosts, and VMs, in the same way as a traditional Hyper-V infrastructure.

At the time of writing, the current version of 5nine Manager is V9.4. The minimum supported version to manage Nano Server is V9.3 and later. You can download a trial version from the following link:

Assuming you have installed 5nine Manager in your environment, open the console and add the desired Nano Server that you want to administer.

As shown in Figure 1, we can specify the Name, IP Address, or use Active Directory to discover Nano Hyper-V hosts:

When you click on Active Directory, you can select the desired Nano host that you want to manage (see Figure 2):
