Category: Software and Web Development, Servers and Server OS

Tags: windows server 2008, windows server, server, management, applications

Overview Server Core is a minimal installation option for the Windows Server 2008 operating system that does not provide a fully integrated Graphical User Interface (GUI) or other components and applications that are not required for supported server roles and features. A Server Core installation helps reduce the attack surface and allows for easier installation and configuration management. Microsoft Information Technology (Microsoft IT) deployed the Windows Server 2008 operating system to help develop product usage scenarios and to test the product's features and functions prior to release.
