Installing a Windows Server Core
Computer
Windows Server Core includes a minimal
version of the server software without the GUI; you perform all configuration
tasks from the command prompt. Follow this procedure to install Windows Server
Core and perform initial configuration tasks:
Step 1: Insert the Windows Server 2012 R2 DVD-ROM and turn
on your computer. You should see a message informing you that Windows is
copying temporary files; if not, you should access the BIOS setup program
included with your computer and modify the boot sequence so that the computer
boots from the DVD.
Step 2: After a few minutes, you receive the Windows Server
2012 R2 screen shown in the figure . Click Install now to begin the
installation.
Step 3: You receive the options shown in figure , which
enable you to install the complete Standard or Datacenter version of Windows
Server 2012 R2 with a GUI or Windows Server 2012 R2 Server Core. Select the
Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter (Server Core Installation)option and then
click Next.
Step 4: You are asked to accept the license terms. Select
the check box labeled I accept the license termsand then click Next.
Step 5: You receive the options shown in Figure to upgrade
or install a clean copy of Windows Server 2012 R2. Select Custom (advanced) to
install a clean copy of Windows Server 2012 R2. The upgrade option is available
only if you have started the installation from within Windows Server 2008,
Windows Server 2008 R2, or the original version of Windows Server 2012.
Step 6: Select the disk on which you want to install Windows
and then click Next.
Step 7: Take a coffee break while the installation proceeds.
This takes some time (particularly when installing on a virtual machine), and
the computer restarts several times. As shown in Figure , Setup charts the
progress of installation..
Step 8: After 15–30 minutes (depending on your hardware),
Windows restarts a last time and informs you that your password must be changed
before logging on for the first time. Click OK.
Step 9: After a minute or so, the desktop appears,
containing a command window but no Start screen or desktop icons. This is the
standard Windows Server Core interface.
Step 10: To set the correct time, type control timedate.cpl
. By default, Server Core sets the time zone to Pacific Time. If you are in a
different time zone, you will need to change this. Set the appropriate time zone,
change the date and time if necessary, and then click OK.
Step 11: Windows installs Server Core with a randomly
generated computer name. To set a name of your choice, type netdom
renamecomputer %computername% /newname: TuanLM (where, in this instance, TuanLM is the name you’re assigning;
substitute your desired server name).
Step 12: You are informed that the computer needs to be
restarted in order to complete the rename. Type shutdown /r /t 0 to reboot your
server. After the server reboots, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and log on using the
password you set in step 8.
