Server Core is recommended for most scenarios and allows administration via PowerShell, command line, or Sconfig locally or remotely using tools like PowerShell Remoting, RSAT, and Windows Admin Center. Server Core has advantages like reduced attack surface but may not be suitable for all scenarios. Common server roles are available on Server Core like AD DS, DHCP, DNS, and File Services.

- List the hardware requirements for Windows Server 2019.

Compare Server Core and Desktop Experience

When you install Windows Server 2019, you must choose between installing the server with or
without the Desktop Experience.

Important

This is a critical decision because you can't add or remove the Desktop Experience after you install
the server.

Server Core is an installation of Windows Server without the Desktop Experience. Server Core is
available for both Standard and Datacenter editions, but it isn't available for Windows Server 2019
Essentials, and the free version of Hyper-V server is only available as a Server Core installation.

You can administer and configure Server Core on the server itself through PowerShell, the command
line, or through the text-based tool called Sconfig.
