In the above link, in the notes & footnotes, it says “Server Core not supported”. What does that mean?
Subject: No GUI
Not a windows expert - but from what i’ve seen that means basically that there’s no GUI.
Server Core - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Core
Server Core is a minimalistic Microsoft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft Windows Server https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server installation option, debuted in Windows Server 2008 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2008. Server Core provides a server environment with functionality scaled back to core server features, and because of limited features, it has reduced servicing and management requirements, attack surface, disk and memory usage. … Most notably, no Windows Explorer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Explorer shell is installed.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Core#cite_note-MSDNWhatIs-1 All configuration and maintenance is done entirely through command-line interface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface windows, or by connecting to the machine remotely using Microsoft Management Console https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Management_Console (MMC), remote server administration tools, and PowerShell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerShell.
Subject: Some info on Server Core
With Server Core, there is no PerfMon.exe, Services.msc or Event Viewer available since these are GUI-based. You are administering the server through PowerShell commands (or “commandlets” as MS puts it). For example, to search an event log, you use a command like wevtutil qe /f:textstring . Similarly, you partition drives, configure the server to use a proxy server and install updates using commands.
