=============================================================== From: Dave Brockman ------------------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It's called Server core, we got it with the first release of Server 2008. Hopefully they are going to extend it so we can actually run useful things on it, instead of just being shoe-holed into DC/DNS/DHCP/File Serving Roles. You're still expected to use their GUI tools to manage them, you just install them on your management workstation. Or learn powershell commands like this: [1] server-core get-server-name | get-dns-server | modify-zone "mydomain.dom" add-record -A "host.mydomain.dom" -I "192.168.1.100" expiry-time 2hours -secure-update-allowed Regards, dtb [1] Totally made up, I hate powershell. We finally get a scripting language with some amount of usefulness and they make the syntax emulate the NotYET framework. /wrists -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk8Qp2IACgkQABP1RO+tr2QQUwCfUpUtXcQicHKbPnf1ERLPhhNe BasAnjZNjt/x2jDNleJIxkQsWdVqktUy =7D0Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
