MCITP 70-640: Installing Active Directory on Server Core

This video looks at promoting a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Core to a Domain Controller using the command line. Check out http://YouTube.com/ITFreeTraining or http://itfreetraining.com for more of our always free training videos. This covers using an answer file and also using the command line only. The core edition of Windows Server is a scaled down version of Windows Server with very limited GUI options.

For a complete list of promotion options refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947034

For a GUI interface for servers, check out Core Configurator,
http://coreconfig.codeplex.com.
This free open source product is great for quickly configuring Server Core and even supports promoting the server to a Domain Controller. Microsoft will not test you on this product so for the exam you should have an understanding of the command line tools demonstrated in this video. For the everyday administrator of Server Core, this product is a life saver.

The advantages of running Server Core are as follows:
Smaller attack surface due to less software running
Less CPU and memory used
Fewer updates required

The disadvantage of Server Core is it is harder to administer because it only comes with the command prompt. Server Core does support remote administrator tools. You can also use the core configurator listed above to give you access to some basic GUI admin tools to help initially configure Server Core.
