For example, you can use IIS to run Active Server Pages (ASP), but not ASP.NET applications. Anything
with JavaScript should also run fine and you can use technologies such as Asynchronous
JavaScript and XML (AJAX). The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) application support will still
work fine, which means you could also run implementations of Practical Extraction and Report
Language (PERL) and so on. Consequently, the loss of functionality isn??™t as bad as you may initially
think, but IIS under Server Core isn??™t going to be the platform of preference for many people.
Whether you can use IIS depends on the kinds of application support you require.
The biggest problem with IIS support in Server Core, however, is management. IIS is an example
of an application that really does work better with a GUI than it does at the command line.
Although you can manage IIS at the command line, this functionality is probably limited to smaller
Web sites where you don??™t have to coordinate the efforts of multiple servers. Chapter 25 details
how to manage IIS with Server Core.
Life without the Control Panel
It??™s important to remember that the Control Panel applets are a graphical feature of Windows.
