Complete System Configuration; Using Server Core - HP StoreEasy 1000 Administrator's Manual

Complete system configuration

After the storage system is physically set up and you have completed all of the required tasks in
the Initial Configuration Tasks window, you may want to complete additional setup tasks. Depending
on the deployment scenario of the storage system, these steps can vary. These additional steps
can include:
Running Microsoft Windows Update—HP highly recommends that you run Microsoft Windows
updates to identify, review, and install the latest, applicable, critical security updates on the
storage system.
Creating and managing users and groups—User and group information and permissions
determine whether a user can access files. If the storage system is deployed into a workgroup
environment, this user and group information is stored locally on the device. By contrast, if
the storage system is deployed into a domain environment, user and group information is
stored on the domain.
Using Ethernet NIC teaming (optional)—Use Windows Server Manager to configure and
monitor Ethernet network interface controller (NIC) teams in a Windows-based operating
system. These teams provide options for increasing fault tolerance and throughput. For more
information, see the Windows Server 2012 NIC Teaming (LBFO) Deployment and Management
Guide, available at:

Adjusting logging for system, application, and security events.
Installing third-party software applications—For example, these might include an antivirus
application that you install.
Registering the server — To register the server, refer to the HP Registration website
register.hp.com).

Using Server Core

The Server Core interface is a command prompt with PowerShell support. In Windows Server
2012, you can transition between Server with a GUI mode and Server Core mode without
reinstalling the operating system.
Transition to Server Core mode
1. Open PowerShell and execute the following command:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Remove-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell,
Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra
2. When prompted, restart the server by executing the following command:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> shutdown
After the server restart, only the command prompt will be available, indicating the server is
now in Server Core mode.
