Installation and Configuration
Limitations
Since Server Core is a special installation of Windows Server 2008, the
following limitations exist:
◆ You cannot upgrade from a previous version of the Windows
Server operating system to a Server Core installation. Only a
clean installation is supported.
◆ You cannot upgrade from a full installation of Windows Server
2008 to a Server Core installation. Only a clean installation is
supported.
◆ You cannot upgrade from a Server Core installation to a full
installation of Windows Server 2008. If you need the Windows
user interface or a server role that is not supported in a Server
Core installation, you must install a full installation of Windows
Server 2008.
EMC support
EMC supports the use of Server Core for attach to EMC storage
arrays. The currently supported adapter drivers/firmware/BIOS and
adapter driver utilities are approved for use with this version of
Windows 2008. Use of the Emulex Autopilot driver install wizard
(executable driver package), as shown in Figure 78, works exactly as
it will on a standard Windows 2008 installation, but the wizard must
be started from the command prompt.
