Using SCONFIG to Configure a Server Core Installation

As mentioned previously, Windows Server 2012 includes a utility to make the initial configuration or a core installation easier. The SCONFIG utility, which has been available since Windows Server 2008 R2, is very easy to use and is usually the preferred configuration option if scripting is not required.

The utility can be executed by running sconfig.exe in the core installation command prompt and presents the set of options shown in Figure 3.9.
