operating environment does not require user interaction (such as in a data center). Any activity
that requires the use of a GUI must be done in Server with a GUI mode. For more information
about installation options, see the "Windows Server Installation Options" article on Microsoft

To switch to Server Core mode, see "Using Server Core" (page 39) for more information.
