Lab 06: Server Core and Remote Administrator Tools - squatchulator/Tech-Journal GitHub Wiki

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
