31 Days of our Favorite Things: Windows Server 2012 Server Manager (Part 2 of 31)

No, this is not the same tool as was in Windows Server 2008/2008 R2, or the original in Windows NT. Remember that one? (And here’s a little tidbit for you. If you need to manage Windows NT 3.51 or NT 4.0 from Windows Server 2003, you can actually download SrvMgr.exe)
