Server Core Installation Option of Windows Server 2008 Step-By-Step Guide

最終更新日: 2007年9月7日

This step-by-step guide provides instructions for building a server in your test lab that is based on the Server Core installation option of the Windows Server® 2008 operating system. It includes information about installation, initial configuration, and managing a server that is running a Server Core installation.

What is a Server Core installation?

The Server Core installation option is a new option that you can use for installing Windows Server 2008. A Server Core installation provides a minimal environment for running specific server roles, which reduces the maintenance and management requirements and the attack surface for those server roles. A server running a Server Core installation supports the following server roles:

Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)

Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)

DHCP Server

DNS Server

File Services

Print Services

Streaming Media Services

Web Server (IIS)

To accomplish this, the Server Core installation option installs only the subset of the binary files that are required by the supported server roles. For example, the Explorer shell is not installed as part of a Server Core installation. Instead, the default user interface for a server running a Server Core installation is the command prompt.

What’s new in the Server Core installation option?

The Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 requires initial configuration at a command prompt. A Server Core installation does not include the traditional full graphical user interface. Once you have configured the server, you can manage it locally at a command prompt or remotely using a Terminal Server connection. You can also manage the server remotely using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or command-line tools that support remote use.

Who should use this guide?

The target audience for the Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 includes:

IT planners and analysts who are technically evaluating the product.

Enterprise IT planners and designers for organizations.

IT professionals who are managing the AD DS, AD LDS, DHCP Server, DNS Server, File Services, Print Services, Streaming Media Services, and Web Server (IIS) roles.

Benefits of a Server Core installation

The Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 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, DHCP Server, DNS Server, File Services, Print Services, and Streaming Media Services 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 gigabyte (GB) of disk space to install and approximately 2 GB for operations after the installation.

In this guide

Deploying a Server Core installation: Overview

In this scenario, you will create a server running a Server Core installation. There are no special settings or differences between installing Windows Server 2008 and a Server Core installation.

Prerequisites for deploying a Server Core installation

To complete this task, you will need the following:

The Windows Server 2008 installation media

A valid product key

A computer on which you can perform a clean Server Core installation

Known issues for deploying a Server Core installation

There is no way to upgrade from a previous version of the Windows Server operating system to a Server Core installation. Only a clean installation is supported.

There is no way to upgrade from a full installation of Windows Server 2008 to a Server Core installation. Only a clean installation is supported.

There is no way to upgrade from a Server Core installation to a full installation of Windows Server 2008. If you need the Windows® user interface or a server role that is not supported in a Server Core installation, you will need to install a full installation of Windows Server 2008.

Steps for manually installing a Server Core installation

Follow this procedure to install a Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008.

To install a Server Core installation

1.

Insert the appropriate Windows Server 2008 installation media into your DVD drive.

2.

When the auto-run dialog box appears, click Install Now.

3.

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete Setup.

4.

After Setup completes, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, click Other User, type Administrator with a blank password, and then press ENTER. You will be prompted to set a password for the Administrator account.

Using an unattend file to install a Server Core installation

Using an unattend file for a Server Core installation enables you to perform most of the initial configuration tasks during Setup. Performing an unattended Server Core installation provides the following benefits:

There is no need to perform the initial configuration by using command-line tools.

You can include the settings in the unattend file to enable remote administration (when Setup is complete).

You can configure settings that cannot be easily modified at a command prompt, such as display resolution.

To install a Server Core installation by using an unattend file

1.

Create a .xml file titled Unattend.xml by using a text editor or Windows System Image Manager.

2.

Copy the Unattend.xml file to a local drive or shared network resource.

3.

Boot your computer to Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP.

4.

Insert the media disk with the Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 into your disk drive. If the auto-run Setup window appears, click Cancel.

5.

At a command prompt, change to the drive that contains the installation media.

6.

Type the following at a command prompt:

setup /unattend:<path>\unattend.xml

where path is the path to your Unattend.xml file.

7.

Allow Setup to complete.

   note  (

Appendix A of this document contains a sample unattend file with comments that explain the settings in the sample configuration. This sample can be modified for use in your environment.

Configuring a Server Core installation: Overview

Because a Server Core installation does not include the Windows user interface, there is no "out-of-box experience" to help you complete the server configuration. Instead you must manually complete the configuration using the command-line tools as outlined in the following steps.

   note  (

You can use an unattended setup to configure these settings during installation. For more information about unattended settings, see the Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK) (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=81030).

Administrative credentials

If you are going to join a server running a Server Core installation to an existing Windows domain, you need a user name and password for an account that has the administrative credentials to join a computer to the domain.

Known issues for configuring a Server Core installation

If you close all command prompts, you will have no way to manage the Server Core installation. To recover, you can press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, click Start Task Manager, click File, click Run, and type cmd.exe. Alternatively, you can log off and log back on again.

Because there is no Web browser, you cannot activate a Server Core installation or access the Internet through a firewall that requires users to log on.

Steps for configuring a Server Core installation

The following procedures explain how to configure a computer running a Server Core installation. The steps include:

Setting the administrative password

Setting a static IP address

   note  (

A DHCP address is provided by default. You should perform this procedure only if you need to set a static IP address.

Joining a domain

Activating the server

Configuring the firewall

To set the administrative password

1.

When your computer starts for the first time after the installation completes, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Type Administrator for the user name and leave the password blank.

2.

The system will inform you that the password has expired and will prompt you to enter a new password.

3.

Type an appropriate password.

To set a static IP address

1.

At a command prompt, type the following:

netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces

2.

Make a note of the number shown in the Idx column of the output for your network adapter. If your computer has more than one network adapter, make a note of the number corresponding to the network adapter for which you wish to set a static IP address.

3.

At the command prompt, type:

netsh interface ipv4 set address name="<ID>" source=static address=<StaticIP> mask=<SubnetMask> gateway=<DefaultGateway>

Where:

ID is the number from step 2 above

StaticIP is the static IP address that you are setting

SubnetMask is the subnet mask for the IP address

DefaultGateway is the default gateway

4.

At the command prompt, type:

netsh interface ipv4 add dnsserver name="<ID>" address=<DNSIP>index=1

Where:

ID is the number from step 2 above

DNSIP is the IP address of your DNS server

5.

Repeat step 4 for each DNS server that you want to set, incrementing the index= number each time.

   note  (

If you set the static IP address on the wrong network adapter, you can change back to using the DHCP address supplied by using the following command:

netsh interface ipv4 set address name="<ID>" source=dhcp

where ID is the number of the network adapter from Step 2.

To join a domain

1.

At a command prompt, type:

netdom join <ComputerName> /domain:<DomainName> /userd:<UserName> /password:*

Where:

ComputerName is the name of the server that is running the Server Core installation.

DomainName is the name of the domain to join.

UserName is a domain user account with permission to join the domain.

2.

When prompted to enter the password, type the password for the domain user account specified by UserName.

3.

If you need to add a domain user account to the local Administrators group, type the following command:

net localgroup administrators /add <DomainName>\<UserName>

4.

Restart the computer. You can do this by typing the following at a command prompt:

shutdown /r /t 0

To rename the server

1.

Determine the current name of the server with the hostname or ipconfig command.

2.

At a command prompt, type:

netdom renamecomputer <ComputerName> /NewName:<NewComputerName>

3.

Restart the computer.

To activate the server

At a command prompt, type:

slmgr.vbs -ato

If activation is successful, no message will return in the command prompt.

   note  (

You can also activate by phone, using a Key Management Service (KMS) server, or remotely by typing the following command at a command prompt of a computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008:

cscript windows\system32\slmgr.vbs <ServerName> <UserName> <password>:-ato

To configure the firewall

Use the netsh advfirewall command. For example, to enable remote management from any MMC snap-in, type the following:

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Remote Administration" new enable=yes

   note  (

You can also use the Windows Firewall snap-in from a computer running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 to remotely manage the firewall on a server running a Server Core installation. To do this, you must first enable remote management of the firewall by running the following command on the computer running a Server Core installation:

netsh advfirewall set currentprofile settings remotemanagement enable

Installing a server role on a server running Server Core installation: Overview

After the Server Core installation is complete and the server is configured, you can install one or more server roles. The Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 supports the following server roles:

Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)

Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)

DHCP Server

DNS Server

File Services

Print Services

Streaming Media Services

Web Server (IIS)

More information about the command-line tools for configuring the server roles is available in the Additional references section at the end of this guide.

   note  (

This section includes a procedure for each server role in the previous list. You need to complete the procedure(s) for only the server roles that you want to install.

Prerequisites for installing a server role on a server running Server Core installation

To complete this task, you need the following:

A computer on which you have installed and configured a Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008.

An administrator user account and password for the server running the Server Core installation.

If installing and configuring a print server, another computer running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 on which you can run the Print Management Console to remotely configure the print server.

If installing and configuring a DHCP server, the information required to configure a DHCP scope.

If installing and configuring a DHCP server, you must configure the server running the Server Core installation to use a static IP address.

If installing and configuring a DNS server, the information required to configure a DNS zone.

If installing and configuring an Active Directory environment, the information required to either join an existing domain or to create a new domain.

If you are going to promote the server running the Server Core installation to be a domain controller in an Active Directory domain, a domain administrator user name and password.

Known issues for installing a server role on a Server Core installation

You cannot use the Active Directory Domain Controller Installation Wizard (Dcpromo.exe) on a server running Server Core installation. You must use an unattend file with Dcpromo.exe to install or remove the domain controller role.

Alternately, you can run Dcpromo.exe on another computer running Windows Server 2008 and use the wizard to save an unattend file that you can then use on the server running Server Core installation.

Dcpromo.exe will restart the computer immediately when the installation is complete or when Active Directory is removed unless RebootOnCompletion=No is included in the answer file.

The Web Server (IIS) role does not support ASP.NET in Server Core installations. Because there is no support for managed code, the following IIS features are not available in Server Core installations:

IIS-ASPNET

IIS-NetFxExtensibility

IIS-ManagementConsole

IIS-ManagementService
