Lab 06: Server Core and Remote Administrator Tools

This lab explores the installation and usage of Windows Server Core, and Remote Server Administrator Tools (RSAT). Windows Server Core has no GUI, and is a minimalist installation of Windows with basic command-line functionality, eliminating things like Cortana or other unnecessary bloatware that Windows includes. Remote Server Admin Tools allows the running of snap-ins from Server Manager to remotely manage roles and privileges on other computers.

Commands:

• To open an easy config menu for all this, type sconfig
• To rename computer:
  • wmic computersystem where name="COMPUTERNAME" call rename name="NEWNAME"
• To restart:
  • shutdown -r
• To see if domain is reachable, you can run an nslookup on domain
