Install older versions of Server app for Remote Server Management?

Has anybody figured out how to install an older version of the Server app to remotely manage that server?

I reverted my Mini based server to Sierra, but have to use Remote Desktop to manage it instead of the remote function of the Sierra Server app. Quite stupid.

I believe the only option would be to install an older version of macOS that is not compatible with 5.x that removed the RM option you want, then you should get a warning to install an older version. Once Server is installed, then you can upgrade to Sierra and leave Server at the version that provides what you want.

I say this having not tested it - I just know that I've seen that warning previously to install an older version of Server.

I have the older app on a volume with Sierra. It refuses to launch. They have the OS check in the code.
