You’ll find a brief description of the Windows server core installation of Windows Server 2008 at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/WindowsServer 2008/evaluation/overview.mspx . By the time you read this chapter, this page will probably be expanded or the URL will redirect you to somewhere that has a lot more content on the subject.

If you have access to the Windows Server 2008 beta program on Microsoft Connect (http:// connect.microsoft.com), you can get some great documentation from there, including these:

• Microsoft Windows Server Code Name 2008 Server Core Step-By-Step Guide

• Live Meeting on Server Core

• Live Chat on Server Core

There’s also a TechNet Forum where you can ask questions and help others trying out the Windows server core installation option of Windows Server 2008. Seehttp://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=582&SiteID=17 for this forum. (Windows Live registration is required.)

There’s a Windows server core blog on TechNet that is definitely something you won’t want to miss. See http://blogs.technet.com/server_core/.
