6 Understanding Windows Server 2008 Server Core The Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 requires initial configuration at a command prompt. A Server Core installation does not include the traditional full graphical user interface. Once you have configured the server, you can manage it locally at a command prompt or remotely using a Terminal Server connection. You can also manage the server remotely using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or command-line tools that support remote use.

7 Benefits of a Server Core installation The Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 and R2 provides the following benefits: Reduced maintenance - Because the Server Core installation option installs only what is required to have a manageable server for the AD DS, AD LDS, AD CS, DHCP Server, DNS Server, File Services, Print Services, Web Server and Hyper-V server roles, less maintenance is required than on a full installation of Windows Server Reduced attack surface - Because Server Core installations are minimal, there are fewer applications running on the server, which decreases the attack surface. Reduced management - Because fewer applications and services are installed on a server running the Server Core installation, there is less to manage. Less disk space required - A Server Core installation requires only about 1.5 gigabyte (GB) of disk space to install and approximately 2 GB for operations after the installation. Lower risk of bugs - Reducing the amount of code can help reduce the amount of bugs.
