  • Artikel

Some of these may be repeats, but this is a pretty complete list of common tasks an administrator might need to do that either don't have a well known command line tool or a tool at all. A few of these may not work in current builds, such as oclist, but should be in the next build available.

To activate:

Cscript slmgr.vbs –ato

Determining the computer name, any of the following:

            Set c

            Ipconfig /all

            Systeminfo

Rename the Server Core computer:

Domain joined:

Netdom renamecomputer %computername% /NewName:new-name /UserD:domain-username /PasswordD:*

            Not domain joined:

Netdom renamecomputer %computername% /NewName:new-name

Changing workgroups:

Wmic computersystem where name=”<computer name>” call joindomainorworkgroup name=”<new workgroup name>”

Install a role or optional feature:

Start /w Ocsetup <packagename>

Note: For Active Directory, run Dcpromo

View role and optional feature package names and current installation state:

oclist

Start task manager hot-key:

ctrl-shift-esc

Logoff of a Terminal Services session:

            Logoff

To set the pagefile size:

Disable system pagefile management:

wmic computersystem where name=”<computername>” set AutomaticManagedPagefile=False

Configure the pagefile:

wmic pagefileset where name=”C:\\pagefile.sys” set InitialSize=500,MaximumSize=1000

Manually installing a management tool or agent:

Msiexec.exe /i <msipackage>

List installed msi applications:

Wmic

            product

Uninstall msi applications:

Wmic product get name /value

Wmic product where name=”<name>” call uninstall

To list installed drivers:

Sc query type= driver

Installing a driver that is not included:

Copy the driver files to Server Core

Pnputil –i –a <path>\<driver>.inf

Determining a file’s version:

    With Server Core Hyper-V and WSUS most patches can be automatically installed.  However, those that are categorized as "updates" and "update rollups" do not automatically installed.  Is there any way to fix this so that these can also be managed to install automatically?  Is there a simple manual command to enter that will get these patches to come form the web and install?  I'm looking for any solution rather than having to manually download each such update and then individually install them one at a time.  TIA - Dale
