Manage Windows Server 2008 R2 Core with SCONFIG
The Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 and R2 provides the following benefits:
Reduced maintenance - Because the Server Core installation option installs only what is required to have a manageable server for the AD DS, AD LDS, AD CS, DHCP Server, DNS Server, File Services, Print Services, Web Server and Hyper-V server roles, less maintenance is required than on a full installation of Windows Server 2008.
Reduced attack surface - Because Server Core installations are minimal, there are fewer applications running on the server, which decreases the attack surface.
Reduced management - Because fewer applications and services are installed on a server running the Server Core installation, there is less to manage.
Less disk space required - A Server Core installation requires only about 1.5 gigabyte (GB) of disk space to install and approximately 2 GB for operations after the installation.
Lower risk of bugs - Reducing the amount of code can help reduce the amount of bugs.
To run SCONFIG simply enter sconfig.cmd in the command prompt window, and press Enter.
