After installing a Windows Server Core machine, the first task an administrator must do is to set the network address, configure the machine name and set domain membership. Fortunately, Microsoft included a useful command called sconfig,command that allows you to quickly configure basic server settings.
In your command prompt, use sconfig and follow the instructions on the screen:
Using Server Configuration you are able to:
- configure the machine
- join a dome or set workgroup name
- configure local administrator accounts
- configure Remote Management settings
- enable Automatic Windows Updates
- manually install Windows Updates
- enable/Disable Remote Desktop
- configure Network Settings such as IP address and DNS servers
