Configuring Server Core with a GUI

  • [アーティクル]

Remember one of my previous posts around Configuring Windows Server 2008 Server Core with the inbox tools, now if don't like using commandline tools then this will definitively be your tool:

CoreConfigurator

Features:

  • Product Activation
  • Configuration of display resolution
  • Clock and time zone configuration
  • Remote Desktop configuration
  • Management of local user accounts (creation, deletion, group membership, passwords)
  • Firewall configuration
  • WinRM configuration
  • IP configuration
  • Computer name and domain/workgroup membership
  • Installation of Server Core features/roles

After installing CoreConfigurator (supplied as MSI package), navigate to the folder where it has been installed and execute CoreConfigurator.exe

main

Do read the Windows Server Core - CoreConfigurator to the rescue post where Guy explains the different settings and what you can expect to see as a result.
