Setup Guide

When you select the Server Core installation option during Setup, only the files
that are required for these server roles are installed. For example, Windows
Explorer and Server Manager are not available with a Server Core installation.
Therefore, you configure and manage the server locally from the command
prompt or from another computer by using remote management tools.
NOTE: You can switch between the Server Core option and the Server with a GUI
option as needed at any time later.
For more information about the installation options, what is included with
each option, how to switch between them, and related features such as the
Minimal Server Interface and Features on Demand, see Windows Server
Installation Options at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=242140.
The two installation options are available for most Windows Server editions.
Not all server roles and features are available in all editions. For details about
the roles and features available in each Windows Server edition, see
