Want to reduce your patch maintenance requirements by 1/3rd or more?
Of course! Who wouldn't?
Well, Server Core in Windows Server 2012 reduces the disk footprint of the operating system by approximately 4GB! When using the Server Core installation option, the features related to the Server Graphical Shell ( ie., Explorer, Start Screen, and Internet Explorer ) and Graphical Management Tools and Infrastructure are not installed – GUI features that are usually not required on a dedicated server, because we tend to do most of our IT management work from our admin workstations anyway, as a "best practice". By not installing these features, we gain several advantages:
- Less filling – particularly useful when virtualizing Windows Server 2012 … you can conceivably provision a whole lot more VM's on a Hyper-V host if each VM requires ~ 4GB less disk space!
- More uptime – Fewer installed features means fewer features to patch and maintain. Server Core has been available since Windows Server 2008, and historically we've noted as much as 35-45% fewer patches needed on Server Core installations! The next time you review your "Patch Tuesday" updates, you'll notice that a number of the operating system updates note:
- More secure – Fewer installed features also mean less of a potential attack surface, providing a more "hardened" server environment that is "purpose-built" for just the roles and features that you specifically install.
For these reasons, the "Server Core installation" option is now the default installation option when installing Windows Server 2012.
Sounds great! Why haven't more IT Pros used Server Core in the past?
OK – this is where we get to the "Improved Taste" of Server Core in Windows Server 2012! 🙂
When I've talked with IT Pros prior to Windows Server 2012 being released, there were often two common reasons that IT Pros hadn't been using Server Core:
- I'm limited – Not many roles and features ran on Server Core in the past
- It's just "different" – without a GUI interface, a lot of IT Pros had difficulty initially configuring new servers using command-line tools – it was a different experience for building new servers.
Both of these areas have been addressed in Windows Server 2012, which greatly improves the number of roles and applications that can be supported without a full "Server with GUI" user interface, while also making the Server Core configuration experience a more familiar path for arriving at on your server. Let's look at each of these areas of improvement …
What can I run using Server Core?
Windows Server 2012 provides the ability to run many more roles when using Server Core, including:
- Active Directory Certificate Services
- Active Directory Domain Services
- DHCP Server
- DNS Server
- File Services (including File Server Resource Manager)
- Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)
- Hyper-V
- Print and Document Services
- Streaming Media Services
- Web Server (including a subset of ASP.NET)
- Windows Server Update Server
- Active Directory Rights Management Server
- Routing and Remote Access Server
Great for "core" servers … So, when you're setting up your next round of dedicated servers for Domain Controllers, DHCP servers, DNS servers, File/Print servers, or Web servers – be sure to consider Server Core! These server roles are indeed "core" to the network infrastructure of many organizations, and I'm sure you'll appreciate the improved uptime you'll likely receive from having fewer patches to manage.
For the Hyper-V role … while you can certainly install the Hyper-V role on Windows Server 2012 using Server Core, we also provide a preconfigured FREE Hyper-V Server 2012 product. Hyper-V Server 2012 is a "prebuilt" edition of Server Core + Hyper-V without the other roles that are included in a full copy of Windows Server 2012. Hyper-V Server 2012 includes all the same great scale, availability and virtualization features as Windows Server 2012 and makes a powerful dedicated virtualization host. Oh … and did I mention … it's FREE? 🙂
My good friend and colleague, Matt Hester, has a great post on his blog for learning more about Hyper-V Server 2012!.
SQL Server too! … In addition to Windows Server 2012 roles, you can also install SQL Server 2012 on Server Core operating system installations – note that the SQL Server 2012 Database Engine, Analysis Services and Integration Services components are supported on Server Core, but Reporting Services is not currently supported in this configuration. Since SQL Server is also a "core" component of many network environments, "SQL on Server Core" can be an attractive option worth considering!
As other new products are released, we expect that more and more products will begin providing support for Server Core where possible.
What about other applications … Can they run on Server Core?
Be sure to check with your application vendors … You may be surprised to find that many will run on Server Core in Windows Server 2012! For those that don't, we do provide another option that's also new in Windows Server 2012: Minimal Server Interface.
Minimal Server Interface is a "half-way" point between the full "Server with GUI" installation option and the "Server Core" installation option When using Minimal Server Interface, the Server Graphical Shell is still removed, but Graphical Management Tools & Infrastructure remains in place. We're offering this mode primarily for 3rd party applications that have local GUI management tools that are required to run from the server console. When using Minimal Server Interface, approximately 300MB less disk space is required after the Server Graphical Shell is removed. It's not quite the same level of disk space savings as Server Core, but anything less in terms of a disk footprint is still a welcome benefit!
How do I install Windows Server 2012 with Minimal Server Interface?
Unlike "Server Core installation" and "Server with GUI", Minimal Server Interface is not an install-time option. Instead, to configure the Minimal Server Interface, you'd first install Windows Server 2012 using the full "Server with GUI" option and then remove the "Server Graphical Shell" feature post-installation by using the Remove Roles and Features wizard in Server Manager. You'll find the Server Graphical Shell feature listed under the "User Interfaces and Infrastructure" feature category in the wizard.
Alternatively, you can also remove the "Server Graphical Shell" via PowerShell by running the following command line as an Administrator:
Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell -Restart
NOTE: A server restart is required when removing or adding the "Server Graphical Shell" feature. The -Restart parameter on the command line above will force a server restart to occur. After restarting and logging back in to the server console, you'll see a very sparse user interface that looks just like "Server Core". Unlike Server Core though, you can still launch graphical management tools ( ie., Server Manager, MMC based tools, etc ) from the local server command prompt.
I love the new Server Core! But … is it any easier to configure in Windows Server 2012?
Great question! Many IT Pros didn't leverage Server Core prior to Windows Server 2012 because it was so different performing the initial configuration of a new server entirely using command line tools. In prior releases of Windows Server, selecting "Server Core" or "Server with GUI" was an irreversible install-time decision – it was a "Life Choice" for that server! In Windows Server 2012, this has changed, too – the Server Graphical Shell and the Graphical Management Tools and Infrastructure are now modular features. And, as with any other server features, we can install them and uninstall them at any point during the server's life. Keep in mind that a server restart will always be required after installing or uninstalling these features, so plan for a short maintenance window when switching server UI modes.
Based on this new feature-based design, we can initially install and configure the server using the full Server with GUI installation option. After we've finished all of our initial server configuration work, then we can remove both the Server Graphical Shell and Graphical Management Tools and Infrastructure features using the Remove Roles and Features wizard in Server Manager.
I'm in Server Core … Now, How do I get back to the GUI?
After configuring a new server and switching it to "Server Core", you'll likely be doing your daily IT management work remotely from your admin workstation using the Remote Server Administration Tools. However, on occasion, you may find a need to switch back to the full "Server with GUI" mode, particularly if you need local console access to a graphical management tool for a 3rd party application. You can easily switch from Server Core to the full Server with GUI by loading PowerShell ( yes, PowerShell is supported in Server Core! ) and running the following PowerShell command line as an Administrator:
Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra,Server-Gui-Shell -Restart
After server restart and login, you'll find the full "Server with GUI" back again for your administrative pleasure!
What's Next?
In this article, we've walked through the benefits of the improved Server Core in Windows Server 2012: smaller disk footprint, increased uptime and more secure. Along the way, we explored the new Minimal Server Interface and feature-based installation options for easily switching between server UI modes and supporting compatibility with a broader collection of roles, features and applications.
Do it! We offer a step-by-step hands-on lab on Server Core in Windows Server 2012 so that you can easily gain more real-world experience with installing, configuring and managing servers using the Server Core installation option.

CHDI Foundation is teaming up with Lundbeck to aid preclinical development of the latter's Huntington disease (HD) therapeutic candidate. In particular, the studies will assess the compound's effects on P2X receptors implicated in the disease.
Lundbeck says the partnership fits in with its HD Research Initiative, launched in 2010, through which the firm is working with academic groups, research organizations, and other companies to develop new therapeutic approaches to HD. The Initiative includes a collaboration the University of Massachusetts Medical School to investigate RNAi-based therapies that suppress production of the mutant huningtin protein responsible for HD.
Lundbeck is focused on the development of treatments for a range of CNS disorders including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, epilepsy, Alzheimer disease, and Parkinson disease. The firm's Xenazine® is the only FDA-approved drug indicated for reducing chorea associated with HD. Xenazine achieved sales of DKK 281 million (about $48.2 million) in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 35% over the same quarter in 2011.

To This DayMature
Shane Koyczan, a Canadian poet, created a beautiful spoken word poem and posted it on YouTube on February 19th, 2013 as an animated video.
I decided I wanted to just write a little something when I was sick at home one day. It helped to write out everything.
If you want to watch the video, or learn more about Shane Koyczan, the video link is on my profile, as well as other information.
Shane Koyczan, a Canadian poet, created a beautiful spoken word poem and posted it on YouTube on February 19th, 2013 as an animated video.
I can't recall playing something over and over and over again. So many times that I've memorized the entire poem without having looked at the actual poem itself until just today. The words hit me with each play. I hear it differently every single time. I am listening to it on replay right now as I write this. It's been like this since it came out. I can connect to this so well, and I can't believe how beautiful he made this horrible situation.
Bullying is something that affects us all, even if one was never bullied, or bullied someone themselves. I'm sure most people have seen it, bullying. Heard about it. Seen the effects of it. The loss of lives due to it. The loss of innocence and happiness. The loss of everything one ever believed in.
Bullying is something I went through for years. I played with the boys at recess from grade three through grade five. I pushed them around more than anything - they'd gladly push back. All of the girls sneered at me and I ignored it for a while until the whispers started up. My hair was too poofy, my face too weird, my height too short. I was a boy. Not a tomboy, no, not anymore. I was called an actual boy. To the point where the guys I didn't play with would actually push me around, without that playful air my guy friends had. The one girl friend I had moved away and we never spoke again. When it was just me and this guy who was always picked on as well, I stuck to him like glue because his kindness helped more than anything.
Then sixth grade came.
I was back to being alone in a secondary school that seemed to be one hundred times bigger than elementary. The only friends I had were the weirdos, or the people who thought they could take advantage of me and abandon me in the next moment. I had three friends I knew I could always count on.
I was in dance class, a class I never signed up for because I knew I couldn't dance. They put me there. I was too short, I wasn't flexible enough, I was ugly, my hair was a mess, my legs weren't shaved, my pants were hand-me-downs, I had acne on my face - to them, everything was wrong with me. To them, I didn't belong. I felt so inferior to them, that litle group of girls who looked down on me and snickered, as if my face was a joke in itself. I couldn't get dressed in the dressing room because they would laugh. My stuff was stolen so many times and they'd break my things.
The only kindness I could ever hope for was from this really nice girl who tried her best to make me feel better about myself.
It never worked.
Grade seven I started hanging out with the wrong crowd. I still had my other friends, they still loved me as I was, and I will forever love them for that.
But a guy entered my life and gave me a simple smile. A smile that contained all the promises of the world. A smile that manipulated me into wanting me to become better. Better, like him. I wanted him to like me more than his girlfriend who he said he didn't really care about. Instead of that going off as a warning in my head, I took that as an opprtunity.
An opportunity to finally have someone who cared about me, a boy who actually liked me.
Darkness overcame me and I lost people. I also gained people - the wrong people.
My personality darkened, eyeliner surrounded my eyes, black shirts and black pants and black studded bracelets on my wrists. I wanted to be loved, no matter what it took. I convinced myself this was the right thing to do. I convinced myself he was worth it. He'd told me he cared. He'd told me he liked me. We hung out all the time, when we could. We talked for hours on end.
One night, that all changed.
He messaged me, saying how stupid I'd been.
I had no idea what he was talking about, but he went on to say that he never cared. He never liked me. He was only bored. He had nothing better to do than fuck with my life. With my feelings.
It was the first night that I ever cut, the first night that I actually hated myself so much, and what I'd become. I didn't want to to get caught - making me feel even worse, as a coward - so I didn't do it again.
The next day was hell.
In class, he picked at me, acting as if the previous night hadn't happened. Those smiles, though, those knowing smiles that sicken me to this day. He just knew he hurt me deep.
The abuse continued.
I became so depressed, I almost started cutting again. Almost. But I'd written a poem a little after our "friendship" ended:
Remember the day you broke my heart?
The day I drowned and you tore me 'part?
The day I felt liek no one cared;
The day I lied about how I fared.
Remember the time you cut me deep?
The time I bled and you let it seep?
The time I tried to end this life . . .
The time that I first used that knife.
Now remember today is the day I say,
"You'll never again make me feel that way."
After reading that, I realized that's exactly what he wanted. He wanted to hurt me. He wanted to see those scars on my arms and laugh in my face.
The friends that were his, I pulled away from, even if I still wanted to be friends with them. But I couldn't be friends with someone who knew what he did . . . and continued to stay in contact.
I still haven't healed. Knowing that someone so . . . horrible did that to me. Someone who reveled in my pain.
Although I haven't healed, I've forgiven him. Never will I forget that and never will I be wary of him and never will I stop looking after the friends I know who hang around him . . . but I have forgiven him. I will never give him another chance - not that he'd want one from me - but I forgive him.
The bullying didn't stop there, though.
"Emo", "cutter", "stupid", "ugly", "overdramatic". Those were a few. I heard a lot of, "Get over it."
I wanted to stab them in the goddamn heart and ask them how it feels. Tell them to, "GET OVER IT."
Can you get over a broken heart? Can you get over something as horrid as being stabbed in just the right location in the back where it gets your heart as well? Can you get over that?
In Shane's poem, he mentions how a guy who was adopted had to take anti-depression pills and who "tried to kill himself in grade ten when when a kid who could still go home to mom and dad had the audacity to tell him "get over it" as if depression is something that can be remedied with the contents found in a first aid kit."
That's exactly how I felt.
People hated me for the pure reason that the guy who I changed for "disowned" me, as some actually said before.
At the end of grade seven, I met a guy who made me feel wonderful about myself. It was a relationship that lasted four months. Although it was short, it was over a summer. We didn't even kiss. But he made me feel special. He healed me when no one else could. I think, without him having been there, I would have totally lost it. That school year might have been my absolute last.
Although my heart had stitches sewn into it after him, the gauze was missing. The stitches allowed blood to seep through still.
Grade eight, I was called emo, still, even after ridding myself of the makeup, the dark clothes - mostly, anyway.
Maybe it wasn't my best year, that year. Maybe I got into some pretty sketchy things, but I drove through it, I left it behind. My best friend and I split up because of a question she asked me that was fucking ridiculous. A question of my being a sex tape for her boyfriend. When I said no, she and I were done.
I have the knack of choosing the wrong friends.
Especially since one of my best friends died of cancer that year too.
I'm not sure what I did to deserve consecutive years that just really sucked. But shit happens. And, apparently, a lot of it.
Year nine. High school. It was awkward, but better. I wasn't bulled as much and my group of friends was amazing. They're still my friends today. The bullying stopped there. I became more confident, I was able to look in the mirror and tell myself, "You're okay." I still saw an ugly creature, but I ignored it because it didn't matter.
I met a pretty amazing person too. It was online and, although we didn't automatically connect, she was, and is, my best friend, ever. I think she was the one that really pulled me through it. Depression all but disappeared entirely. I felt happy. At peace, for once in years.
Now? I still believe she's the best thing that's ever happened to me. She's the only person I can go to and talk to about everything. I can count on her for nearly everything. She's ma meillure amie. My best friend.
Bullying is tough to go through. It's horrible.
But you can pull through it.
You can make something beautiful out of it like Shane did. You can learn from it and you can build on it. Become a better person.
I believe I am a better person.
I survived and, although I get those bouts of depression every now and then, I am honestly happy.
If you ever get bullied, don't hide it. Get help. Get help so you can be happy too.
Although I'm not one to like people all that much, I would never wish anyone to get bullied because I know how it feels - it took me years to get over what happened to me. Again. I still haven't quite gotten over it. But have faith in yourself and you can do it. I believe in you.
In the words of Shane Koyczan, "You have to believe that they were wrong."
I do.

Veandercross is a New Zealand bred Thoroughbred gelding who raced extensively in Australia. He was awarded the title of Australian Champion Racehorse of the Year for the 1992-1993 season.
Veandercross was a brown, rangy type of gelding that was foaled on 14 October 1988. He was by Crossways (GB), out of the unraced mare Lavender, who was in turn a daughter of the moderate sire Super Gray (USA). His family had produced very few stakes winners. The only interesting thing about his pedigree was the fact that he was inbred 3x3 to champion racehorse and sire Nijinsky.
Racing career
He was initially trained by his part-owner Chris Turner out of the small provincial racing centre of Wanganui in New Zealand. This would later give rise to his nickname - "The Wanganui Wonder." He was usually ridden by jockey Jim Walker.
Veandercross showed immediate promise as a young horse in the 1991-1992 racing season. As a three-year-old in New Zealand, he won the New Zealand 2000 Guineas and the Bayer Classic (now called the LvRC Classic) - both group 1 races over 1,600 metres. He also ran an unlucky second to Cavallieri in the New Zealand Derby at Ellerslie.
In these races, he displayed what would become his characteristic come-from-behind style of racing. This racing style also made it more likely that he would encounter trouble in the run, and he would often be described as "unlucky in defeat." It also created the impression that he would be better suited over a longer journey - an impression that may have been misleading.
Three-year-old races in Australia
Given the immense promise he had shown in New Zealand, it was decided to send Veandercross to Australia for the autumn racing carnival in Sydney. In Australia, he would be trained by John Wheeler, of Rough Habit fame. On his Australian debut, he put in one of his "unlucky" closing efforts in defeat in the Gosford Guineas over 1,600 metres. He would show his true ability at his next start in the Canterbury Guineas over 1,900 metres, where his opponents included the best three year old in Australia, Naturalism. At Canterbury, Veandercross came from last of about 20 runners on a tight-turning track to win. Naturalism was second. Next time out, Naturalism and Veandercross again faced each other in the Rosehill Guineas over 2,000 metres. Veandercross started favourite, and again dropped out to last and ran on strongly, but he encountered interference in the straight, and Naturalism was able to hang on to score a narrow victory. Naturalism and Veandercross again met in the AJC Australian Derby over 2,400 metres, which would be the decider as to who was the best three year old in Australasia. Again, Veandercross ran on from well back, and again he lost, although this time the cause was not interference. Rather, Naturalism outstayed him in the final stretch. The horse who had beaten Veandercross in the New Zealand Derby, Cavallieri, was third.
Four-year-old racing season
Veandercross returned an even better horse as a four year old. After two races in New Zealand, he was sent to Australia to start favourite in the Caulfield Cup. On Cup day the Caulfield track was an absolute bog. In one of the most controversial rides in Australian racing history, champion jockey Shane Dye went extremely wide on the home turn to avoid the slow, muddy ground on the inside. Despite covering this extra ground, Veandercross managed to pass every runner in the straight except one, the talented mare Mannerism, who won in a photo finish after hugging the inside rail. Shane Dye was widely criticised for his ride, but he defended himself, insisting that the extra ground he covered on the horse was more than made up for by the firmer ground he raced on as a result. Nevertheless, the criticism persisted, and recreations of the horse's journey in the race showed that he covered barely less than 2,500 metres, in what was supposed to be a 2,400 metre race.[1]
At his next start, Veandercross won the group 1 Mackinnon Stakes at Flemington, overcoming interference to win emphatically. This would be his last prep race before the Melbourne Cup three days later, a race in which would start favourite. It was again a wet track, and although Veandercross ploughed home determinedly, he could not catch the wet track stayer Subzero in the straight. So Veandercross finished his campaign with the frustrating record of having run second in both the major Cups races.
Veandercross returned as an autumn four-year-old, winning the Lion Brown Sprint in New Zealand, and then the Carlyon Cup and the Australian Cup in Melbourne. He then travelled north to Sydney where he would face his old rival Naturalism in the Rawson Stakes. In the meantime, Naturalism had franked their three year old form internationally by running second in the Japan Cup in the spring. In the Rawson, Veandercross was superior, winning by over a length and cementing his position as the best racehorse in Australasia. However, Veandercross suffered defeat at his next start in the group 1 The BMW at Rosehill, running third to three year old Kaaptive Edition, and his stablemate Rough Habit. His overall record showed that he was not a stayer, but a middle distance horse, at his best between 1,400 and 2,000 metres. Veandercross confirmed his supremacy within this distance range at his next start, winning the Queen Elizabeth Stakes over 2,000 metres at Randwick impressively.
This rounded off an excellent four year old season, which had netted 5 group 1 victories. At the end of the 1992-1993 racing season, he was deservedly crowned Australian Champion Racehorse of the Year.
Unsuccessful five year old campaign
Expectations were high when Veandercross returned to racing as a 5 year old, but his formed dropped off. He contested races such as the Cox Plate unsuccessfully, being beaten by many of the horses over whom he had been dominant the previous season. Unable to win at weight-for-age, and weighted out of handicaps, the decision was soon made to retire Veandercross after he incurred an injury.
Veandercross will be remembered as a top-quality middle distance horse, who rose from humble origins to be the dominant weight-for-age racehorse in Australasia. He will also be remembered for his rivalry with Naturalism, and for having run second in the Melbourne and Caulfield Cups in 1992 - the latter loss occurring after a notoriously controversial ride by the jockey Shane Dye.
At the conclusion of his racing career, his record stood at 36 starts for 15 wins, 9 seconds and 4 thirds, and earnings of AUD$2,602,524. He won eight times at Group One level.[2]
