Like print services, streaming media servers
are generally single purpose and make ideal Server Core candidates.
To install the Streaming Media Services role, perform these steps:
1. Download the Streaming Media Services installer file from KB934518 on
Microsoft??™s support site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934518) and copy
it to your Server Core installation. Remember that you need to do this from a
different server since Server Core doesn??™t have a browser.
2. Run the downloaded MSI file.
3. Install the service role by running this command:
Start /w ocsetup MediaServer
Just as with the other services, you will need to manage your newly installed role
remotely from another server or workstation using the Streaming Media Services MMC
snap-in.
Installing and Configuring the Active Directory Domain Services Role
Of all the different roles included in a Server Core installation, this is by far the most
complex. There??™s no equivalent ocsetup command to use to install Active Directory; instead,
you have to rely on dcpromo.exe, just as you did in Windows 2000/2003. Because
of the way Server Core is set up, the dcpromo.exe GUI can??™t be displayed. This forces you
to install Active Directory via an unattended setup.
To install Active Directory, run the following command:
dcpromo /unattend:c:\unattend.txt
42 Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Administration
This assumes that c:\unattend.
