Execution of Powershell in Windows Server Core

I have a computer that is running Windows Server Core R2 2012. I don't have the GUI or all installed roles. So all I have when I connect is the command prompt. I'm surprised that I can't run Powershell commands. How to add the GUI or get powershell running?

This issue is beyond the scope of this site and must be placed on Technet or MSDN

  • Cannot connect to Windows Server Core after installation with VMWorkstation

    Yes, I chose not to add the ISO image later and now, I ran the installation a dozen times in all directions.

    Whenever the installation finishes I'm not given the option to enter a password instead, I am presented with an 'Other' account with a password set on it already which is unknown to me.

    Does anyone have this problem before?

    Well, when you make a Windows Server 2008 Standard (Server Core Installation) it seems to be quite normal to the «Different user» login  What I did after clicking on 'Another user' I typed in Administrator and no password and then clicked on the round right arrow button on the screen, the next screen has warned "the password must be changed before logging on the first time." and then click OK.  In the next screen, I entered the password and confirm the new password as was then able to connect.

    Certainly, you CAN install the basic version... but please understand WHAT it is... Windows Server Core is a * minimum installation * OS - with little or no graphical user interface.  So what you've seen is exactly as expected!

  • Windows 2008 Server Core - install VMware Tools

    I am running VMware Workstation V9.0.1 build-894247 on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.  I'm trying to install VMware tools on an o/s comments running Windows 2008 Enterprise (Core).  I am able to run the installation (using d:\setup.exe) but the services tools fail on the o/s comments every time.  I uninstalled / reinstalled / repaired several times without a bit of luck.

    The error that I get during installation or repair is:

    Anyone have any suggestions for the installation of VMWare tools in Server 2008 Enterprise (Core)?

    Looks like the same question as http://communities.vmware.com/thread/429432

    It seems that Windows 2008 Core is not explorer.exe, and it is part of the tools dealing with the integration of the unit which does not handle this correctly.

    Try to delete the following file tool to disable the functionality of the unit, and restart Windows:

    C:\Program VMware Tools\plugins\vmusr\unity.dll

    The rest of the functionality of tools such as changing resolution and copy + paste should continue to work even without the Unity plugin.

    Do you know something about the nature of this message? The Server service not had access to the possuble vitrual machine? But how can it create if it doesn't have access? I have not found the log files created in the folder of the virtual machine.

    And if not, why it wouldn't work?

    Thanks for your comments - I have faith that by the wealth of experience available on this forum, I will finally have my answer...

    Hi LucD,

    I've found a workaround:

    When I run the import-PSSnapin I noticed (with wireshark) a lot of traffic failed to WAN addresses, so I set myself, in Internet Options a false proxy (127.0.0.1), excluding the proxy DNS of my domain active directory name (so I can connect to the virtual center without going through the wrong proxy)

    This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.
    This host supports Intel VT - x, but Intel VT - x is disabled.
    Intel VT - x can be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or host was not powered by bicycle since changing this setting.
    (1) check that the settings BIOS/firmware activate Intel VT - x and disable "trust execution."
    2 turn on the host if either of these BIOS/firmware settings have been changed.
    (3) turn on the host if you have not done since the installation of VMware Workstation.
    (4) update of the BIOS/firmware from the host to the latest version.

  • NEITHER Veristand in Windows Server

    Has anyone tried having multiple developers to share a NI Veristand installation on a Windows Server machine? Developers would use the remote desktop for the initial development, and all work together to test and debug console.

    I believe that the license computerized described here: http://www.ni.com/license/licensing_options.htm this would help, but I don't know if there is a problem to have multiple instances running at the same time.

    Did anyone tried something like? How at - it go?

    Hi Clendon,

    The license agreement states that the software can be used by a single person on several machines (with only on running instance) or by multiple users on a single machine (which would only allow a single instance of execution). I think that what you are proposing (several people using it at the same time) would violate the license agreement: http://www.ni.com/legal/license/

    If you have any other questions about how many licenses you would need to buy, I would recommend he discuss with a member of our sales team. They'll be able to talk about what you need for your particular situation.

    I think you would at least be able to get away with only 2 for three people, as the development of models and development of drivers will not access VeriStand. You really need only for testing.
