Of course, you also have to know the command you want to type. Unfortunately,
many of the maintenance commands are quite unforgiving and you may find yourself
wasting time fixing problems instead of saving time using the command line interface.
Working with ZIP Files in Server Core
Many administrators maintain downloaded applications in ZIP files because the ZIP file is common and
it does compress the application setup files. More importantly, the ZIP file keeps all of the setup files
together, making it less likely that you??™ll lose one or more required setup files. Unfortunately, Server
Core doesn??™t come with the
ZIPFldr.DLL
file that makes it possible to view ZIP files as folders in
Windows Explorer. Of course, Server Core doesn??™t have Windows Explorer either, so the omission
makes sense. Even so, you now have a problem with those ZIP files you??™ve used for so long.
Fortunately, WinZIP (
http://www.winzip.com/index.htm
) has a command line interface, and you
can purchase an add-on (
http://www.winzip.com/prodpagecl.htm
) that makes it a lot easier to
use WinZIP at the command line. Of course, you can simply use the documentation at
