Windows 2008 Server Core Configurator
Windows Server 2008 is the latest product of Microsoft's Server series which provides new features compared to previous Windows Server versions like Hyper-V, a hypervisor-based virtualization system, self-healing NTFS or Server Core.
Server Core is a bare bones installation of Windows Server 2008 without Windows Explorer which means that configuration is done through a command line interface or by remotely connecting to the Windows 2008 Server.
Server Cores can be configured for several basic rules like DNS Server, DHPC Server or Hyper-V virtual server. The Windows 2008 Server Core Configurator aids the system administrator in configuring certain tasks like activating the system, adding or removing drivers, setting user and group permissions or configuring networking features.
The Core Configurator comes as a cab file which has to be unpacked before the configurator can be run. To expand the cab archive run the following command:
expand CoreConfigurator.cab -f:*
The Windows 2008 Server Core Configurator can be run by executing Setup-Core.wsf afterwards.
