Introduction to Windows Server 2008 Core

15seconds.com, an Internet.com site that focuses on ASP.NET development, just started a new series on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Server Core. The author is Ziran Sun, and the introductions reads in part:

"...the lack of the familiar Windows user interface can make managing a Server Core installation rather intimidating. This series of articles will introduce Windows Server 2008 Server Core and walk you through the steps needed to get your very own Server Core instance up and running."

In addition to reviewing Installation, the first installment includes restarting and shutting down, changing the computer's name and workgroup and changing the computer's IP address.

The next installment will include how to install a role on the server, install patches and updates, and enable a few different types of remote administration.
