SMT were management tools hosted in Azure and allowed you to manage your servers in the cloud and on-primes. You might remember the Azure Server Management Tools (SMT). Windows Admin Center also became the management user interface for the Azure Stack HCI solutions. WAC is a replacement for the local-only tools and is especially handy if you run Windows Server Core.

It is complementary to other Microsoft Management solutions such as System Center and Operations Management Suite. Windows Admin Center is the modern evolution of the “in-box” management tools of Windows Server, like Server Manager, MMC, and many others.
