This includes Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) as well as support for RPC, which is required by many Windows SDK functions and interfaces as well as many of Windows GUI management tools. This means that virtually all of the command line tools are there, but more importantly the entire remote management infrastructure is present. Your first command line challenge is renaming the computer.ДЄlthough Server Core has almost no GUI tools, it has all the management infrastructure of regular versions of Windows. To find out the computerвЂ™s seemingly random name type the hostname command. Your first goal should be to get the system configured such that you can easily connect to it remotely for management. If youвЂ™re a вЂњpower userвЂќ when it comes to the command prompt then you should be fine but if youвЂ™ve traditionally done all your administration using Windows Explorer or with various MMC snap-ins then youвЂ™re in for a shock since neither are available to lend a helping hand, at least not initially This is where it becomes potentially tricky. Once completed, you are presented with your new shell: Since this is the first time that you have logged in with the account, Windows will take a few moments to create the user profile. Presumably some documentation will be provided for the recent Linux converts who may not think to try what might be your first guess as a veteran Windows user.

Fortunately the good old вЂњAdministratorвЂќ account has already been created without a password so you can use that to gain access to the system. Since this is the first time youвЂ™re logging in, the system will not present any existing user account and youвЂ™re left wondering how you can create a user account without first logging in or whether one already exists that you can make use of. The welcome screen looks like this (click to enlarge): This is mainly because there is just so much less being installed and configured. The installation is also relatively quick in comparison to Windows Vista.

The only thing youвЂ™re asked to do is indicate on which drive or partition you would like to install it. The installation of Server Core is deceptively simple. But first we need to get Server Core up and running.

I also noticed some healthy debate going on about what developers can expect from this new platform so I thought I would try and shed some light on the matter and perhaps put things into perspective as best I can. Future articles in this series will dig into specific technologies provided by Windows Vista and Window Server.

Unlike previous articles in this series, this article is light on code examples and is really intended to get you up and running with this new operating system. In this part 5 of the Windows Vista for Developers series, weвЂ™re taking a look at Windows Server Core.

Server Core is a new flavor of the upcoming release of Windows Server (which shares a large part of its code base with Windows Vista), that is intended to be a low-maintenance server environment used to play a single well-defined role such as that of a DNS server or file server where the presence of web browsers, calculators and other unnecessary applications only add to the overhead of maintaining and patching the server and add little value. I thought IвЂ™d take a little break from Windows Vista and talk about its big brother Windows Server and specifically Windows Server Core.
