The system will reboot and you??™ll find all of the changes
you??™ve made in place. You should also be able to access the system using Remote Desktop
at this point.
CONFIGURING THE SERVER FOR INITIAL USE
9
Figure 1.2
Activate your copy of
Server Core as soon
as possible so you
don??™t forget to perform
this task.
NOTE
Sometimes the
WMIC RDToggle
command won??™t work properly with older clients. In
this case, type
SCRegEdit /CS 0
and press Enter. You??™ll see a message that the script has
changed the proper registry entry. You must reboot the system after making this change using the
Shutdown /r
command.
It??™s important to note that Server Core won??™t let you log into the host machine and into Remote
Desktop at the same time. If you plan to use Remote Desktop, don??™t log into Server at the host
machine. You may also notice some operational differences when working at the Remote Desktop
and you??™ll see a slight pause when Remote Desktop obtains updates from the server. All of these
issues are normal and you don??™t need to worry about them.
NOTE
This book assumes that you??™re using Remote Desktop to perform all tasks, so your screenshots
may appear slightly different from the ones shown in the book.
