Basic Configuration of Windows Server Core Network

Introduction

Although remote MMC can be used to make configuration changes for the Windows Server 2008 Core installer, only if you have configured the server core system from the command line The remote MMC can be used to change the configuration after the necessary network and management configuration procedures. In this article, you'll walk through how to implement a change configuration.

Configuring Network on Windows 2008 Core Server Core Server

Windows Server 2008 Core does not have a graphical interface, but Windows Server 2008 Core installation is quick and easy (for instructions on how to install it, see : Installing Windows Server 2008 Core). As long as you have Windows Server 2008 Core installed, you are in control of the command line and need to create a certain amount of basic network and management configuration to make the servers in the network available and allow the server to be managed remotely.

We can start our configuration from the screen shown below:

Maybe you have configured one from the GUI interface New password, but you should also know how to do the same configuration from the CLI. The following figure shows how to use the network user administrator command:

Next, you need to configure an IP address in the LAN interface to connect the server to the network. In order to complete this step, we can use the netsh interface command. But first, you need to find out your ID number of the network card, you can get the ID number by the method shown below, enter netsh interface ipv4 show interface:

Figure 3: Get the ID number of the network card

In the example, we can see that our LAN interface ID number is 2 (IDX=2), so we will use this ID number when configuring the next command.

To configure an IP address in this interface, just enter:

netsh interface ipv4 set address name=”2” source=static address=192.168.1.233 mask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168 .1.1

Please note:

These IP address settings are just examples for you. You need to enter your own IP address settings.

The following figure shows the input IP address. Illustration:

Figure 4: Using the IP address settings to configure the web interface

If you still don't know how to use DHCP to get the IP address of the server, you can also do this: Br>

netsh interface ipv4 set address name=”2” source=dhcp

Use IPCONFIG to check your IP address configuration to ensure the IP address is correct. Next, use the following command to configure a Or multiple DNS server entries:

netsh interface ipv4 add dnsserver name=”2” address=192.168.1.180

Similarly, check if IPCONFIG /ALL is properly configured, under Figure is a graphical representation of the configuration:
