Managing Nano Server required enhance for UX and UI.
Hi Reza,
Since your description of your private cloud scenario has included System Center solution where some of the System Center solution has a requirement of being installed in Windows Server with full graphical desktop environment, you can manage your NanoServer using those Windows Server with full graphical desktop environment as the management server with remote connectivity to manage the NanoServer using Server Manager, Hyper-V Management Tools, Failover Clustering Tools, PowerShell Remoting, DHCP Server Tools (to configure PXE response), Windows Deployment Services Tool (for responding PXE request to deliver the *.WIM for deployment).
For a single click deployment, it will be best for you to investigate System Center Configuration Manager's capability or Windows Deployment Services capability in delivering the image with a scripted deployment.
Hope it helps. :)

Hi,
Agreed with your explainations , SCCM doing a great job. But not all companies using Configuration Manager and they might have it in plan for future. Therefore, Windows Server should have basic administration dashboard where we could manage Nano Server and for more advance features and management scenario, users would consider Configuration Manager.
