Honolulu complements multi-machine policy-driven solutions like SCCM and Intune by providing single-server and single-cluster troubleshooting and ad-hoc configuration and maintenance capabilities. Honolulu is the evolution of the in-box MMC platform and core MMC snap-ins, and the in-box Server Manager capabilities. Think of Honolulu as an alternative to using Remote Desktop to log into a server for troubleshooting and ad-hoc management; this is particularly useful against Server Core machines.
Honolulu is licensed as part of Windows Server and is provided free of charge, since it is the evolution of traditional in-box tools.
