The Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 provides the following BENEFITS:
- Reduced maintenance:
- Because the Server Core installation option installs only what is required to have a manageable server for the AD DS, AD LDS, DHCP Server, DNS Server, File Services, Print Services, and Streaming Media Services roles, less maintenance is required than on a full installation of Windows Server 2008
- Reduced attack surface:
- Because Server Core installations are minimal, there are fewer applications running on the server, which decreases the attack surface.
- Reduced management:
- Because fewer applications and services are installed on a server running the Server Core installation, there is less to manage.
- Less disk space required:
- A Server Core installation requires only about 1 gigabyte (GB) of disk space to install and approximately 2 GB for operations after the installation.
