I installed a virtual copy of Windows Server 2008 Ent Core last week and have been playing around with it recently, my only problem is that I cannot telnet to it, I can telnet to any server from it, but there is no way to install Telnet server on to it. Now I do not know if this is just me or if you just cannot do it?
any way I am planning to install Core onto a physical box in the next few days and I am slowly building up a list commands
the first commands I needed to use were:
- netdom renamecomputer /NewName:
- shutdown /r /t 0
- netdom join computername /domain: /userd:userID /PasswordD:* /REBoot
These are the basic commands to get the computer renamed and joined to the domain.
I am hoping to install HyperV on the physical server I am installing Core onto, and then connect it to my Shared Storage, and see where we go from there.
I am having to go through a huge learning curve here as I have never really had to do much in the way of CLI, so I might now feel like a REAL server admin! :)
