The point is that the omissions generally affect something that you won??™t use a lot in Server Core
and you probably won??™t notice they??™re missing.
One omission you??™ll definitely notice is that it??™s harder to install applications in Server Core. You
won??™t find the familiar Add or Remove Programs applet in Server Core, but you still have a number
of methods of working with applications at your disposal using the command line in this case. The
???Performing Application Installations??? section of Chapter 3 provides everything you need to
install applications in Server Core. In fact, the entire chapter is useful reading when you know a
GUI method exists for performing a common configuration task, but you don??™t see it anywhere in
Server Core.
The Control Panel admittedly contains a number of applets you??™ll never need in Server Core,
so it??™s impossible to miss them. For example, you won??™t have to worry about managing your
game controller because Server Core isn??™t suited to the task. In addition, you can??™t really use
Server Core for database management, so the lack of a Data Sources (ODBC) applet in the Administrative
Tools folder of the Control Panel isn??™t much of a concern.
