02 -New Features in 2012

Server Interfaces

There are now 3 interfaces:

  1. Core
  2. Minimal
  3. Full GUI

Windows 2008 made you specify the interface at install. You couldn’t change this option unless you re-installed. 2012 allows you to switch between the interfaces at any time however you do need to restart the server. You can do this by enabling or disabling the item in “features”. It is called “User Interfaces and Infrastructure”.
