For the most part, you??™ll
be doing all your management remotely using an MMC snap-in loaded on your workstation
or from another Windows server. The only actual graphical application included
as part of Server Core, besides Task Manager, is Notepad, and you will need that to edit

text files. You can install Windows Installer (MSI)??“based packages, but the GUI can??™t be
displayed, so you will need to specify all the parameters the installation needs in order to
make it a quiet install, and then specify the /qb switch. For example, if you had a thirdparty
toolkit for Windows Server 2008 packaged in an MSI called mgmtpack.msi in the
root of the C: drive, you would run this:
Msiexec /I c:\mgmtpack.msi /qb
You can run two Control Panel applets in Server Core: the time zone and international
settings applets. The time zone applet lets you set the date, time, and time zone.
To run this applet, enter the following:
Control timedate.cpl
The international settings applet sets the currency format, location, keyboards, and
languages. It can be accessed by entering this:
Control intl.cpl
