[Multi-Machine] Please create consolidated view on the servers in Honolulu console

Actually its possible to add different servers to Honolulu console to manage them individually. It would be great to have a consolidated view over all these managed servers. This would be great. Then enterprises could start to use WAC to replace many other vendor tools in favour of WAC, e.g. HPE OneView, DELL OME. Currently Windows management is very inconsistent and WAC only addresses adhoc functions. If WAC was able to be a single pane of glass to view the whole environment health, performance, etc it would be great. Then third parties could integrate their extensions - e.g. show me my overall firmware compliance. To me this would really put VMware, Nutanix, etc on their toes to truly compete in the enterprise space. Windows Server, Hyper-V, etc have always been great, but the management experience has always been lacking. regarding warnings, alerts, performance and capacity data with a drill down option into the affected server object. I would wish to have a Global Dashboard of all my Servers and Clusters. So I could see the Status (up/down/warning/error) of all my Systems and the entire environment.

Credentials ]Login page with SSO button (+ User Management)

Gives the possibility to login in with an admin account, if you are working with an normal account on your computer. Also you should be able to restrict access to i.e. an AD group.

[Connections] [List] Ability to group connections together (pre-defined and custom group)

From Private Preview user feedback. Please add groups as having a list of 500 servers from A->Z is not practical. Being able to group servers like DHCP, DC's or File Servers would be wonderful. The ability to have easily-toggled views rather than scrolling through the filter each time to click on tags would be great. We have over 2k VM's across almost 50 remote sites and managing them all via WAC would be a nightmare. I think a tree/group structure similar to something like VMware vCenter, where folders can be used to group systems and services would be ideal. This would then be shared to multiple engineers so we don't have to manage our own groups of servers. Please consider a grouped view like in Server Manager. (ability to group), ability to group by installed role.

Make Honolulu available as a container image. This would be helpful for creation on semi-annual servers.

[Connection List] Active Directory sync

Great would be if you can define multiple OUs to connect to, where the computer objects are situated. So not only an import more like a synchronisation, so that if there are new computers added the list is up to date. And a folder browsing that reflects the OUs with some additional views like "All Connections", "Favorite Connections" and "Recent Connections".
