Windows core is a very popular windows installation method among administrators. Its giving lot of advantages for them. To save the disc spaces, security, cost and much more. For administrators who are addicted to the command line interfaces this is the best interface to use.
But lot of administrators today likes to use the GUI for server configurations. In this post I am going to explain you the method to convert your Windows Server Core installed server in to GUI.
Just say you Installed windows server Core in to your server with an idea of trying it. But now your are getting some difficulties to do some configurations on that server due to the lack of command line knowledge you have or you are getting lazy to type all the commands one by one in the consol.
This post is for them to change the interface in to GUI without reinstalling the windows.
Connect to the server computer
And in the command line interface use following command lines to achieve your goal.
Powershell (Press Enter)
This will open the powershell
Import-module serverManager (Press Enter)
Install-windowsfeature server-Guid-Mgmt-Infra, Server-GUI-shell –restart (Press Enter)
Once the server restart you can see its changed in to GUI.
Congratulations.
