Installing Management Station Software on Microsoft Windows
Server 2008 Core and Microsoft Hyper-V Server
The Server Core installation option of the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V Server operating system provides a
minimal environment for running specific server roles that reduces the maintenance and management requirements and the
attack surface for those server roles. A Windows Server 2008 Core or Hyper-V Server installation installs only a subset of the
binaries that are required by the supported server roles. For example, the Explorer shell is not installed as part of a Windows
Server 2008 Core or Hyper-V Server installation. Instead, the default user interface for a Windows Server 2008 Core or
Hyper-V Server installation is the command prompt.
Windows Server 2008 Core or Hyper-V Server operating system does not support a graphical user interface (GUI) based
installation of Dell OpenManage software components. You need to install Dell OpenManage software in the CLI mode on
Server Core. For more information on Server Core, see the Microsoft website.
NOTE: You have to be logged in as a built-in Administrator to install systems management software on Windows
Server 2008 and Windows Vista. See the Windows Server 2008 Help for information about the built-in Administrator
account.
