Virtualized deployments of Windows Server 2016 must match the same hardware
specifications as those required for physical deployments. However, during
installation you will need to allocate extra memory to the VM, which you can then
deallocate after installation, or you will need to create an installation partition during
the boot process.

Nano Server cannot be directly installed from the installation media during setup.
Nano Server is installed as a VHD or as a Windows Imaging (WIM) file that is built
using Windows PowerShell cmdlets. The VHD file can be booted from within
Hyper-V or booted directly from a physical machine. The WIM file can be applied
after booting into the Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE).

Windows PowerShell. You can then use this virtual hard drive on a virtual

Server Core is the default installation option when you run the Windows Server 2016

It uses fewer hardware resources than the full installation option. One of the ways it
does this is by not installing a GUI for management purposes.

Instead, you can manage Server Core locally by using Windows PowerShell or a
command-line interface, or you can manage it remotely by using one of the remote

When comparing the three installation types, take into account of the following
factors:

• Ease of installation. Core Server is the default installation option from the
installation media.

provides far fewer options,zabut ció still provides for local sign-in and use of some local

management tools in addition to remote administration tools. A Nano Server
installation depends almost entirely on remote management.

• Physical

hardware and virtual machine requirements. Nano Server has the lowest

• Support for existing applications and refactoring of existing code. Because Nano

Windows Server 2016, you might need to modify existing applications to work in

n.
Nano Server will have the fewest updates and therefore the fewest reboots, and
the highest uptime as a result. Core Server will have fewer updates and reboots,

downtime than with Nano Server.

• Security requirements. The reduced attack surface from vulnerabilities that results
from the reduced set of features, services, open ports, and so on that come with

could have a high availability solution for one server role, and then must locate
remaining roles on other servers.

When you use manual activation, n. you must enter the product key. Microsoft or an

You can perform manual activation by using the retail product key or the multiple
activation key. You can use a retail product key to activate only a single computer.
However, a multiple activation key has a set number of activations that you can use.
This allows you to activate multiple computers, up to a set activation limit.
