.NET 3.0 and 3.5 in Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Core

Much like .NET 2.0 in Server Core, .NET 3.0 and 3.5 are also subsets of functionality. Included are:

· Windows Communication Framework (WCF)

· Windows Workflow Framework (WF)

· LINQ

The only functionality not included is the Windows Presentation Framework (WPF).

.NET 3.0 and 3.5 functionality is installed with a single package:

· Start /w ocsetup NetFx3-ServerCore

If 32bit support is needed you first need to install WoW64 and then .NET 2.0 WoW64 support, the following assume the above command has already been run:

· Start /w ocsetup ServerCore-WOW64

· Start /w ocsetup NetFx3-ServerCore-WOW64

  Now that .NET is available in R2, does that mean ServerManagerCmd.exe will also be available? Or, if it's not, is Routing & Remote Access Services a supported role on R2?  The inability to set up site-to-site VPNs between Server Core machines is extremely frustrating.

  Andrew It appears that a reboot is required after the "start /w ocsetup ServerCore-WOW64" command. There was no prompt in the console indicating this was required and the c:windowslogscbscbs.log was 0 bytes in size. I ran the command multiple times to no avail. "oclist | findstr /i wow" showed NOT installed. But during shutdown portion of the reboot I could see some updates were done (as per status messages) and after reboot cbs.log was a little over 1MB and oclist showed WOW64 support as installed. Perhaps consider updating the blog entry so that others that dont read the comments dont waste time. M@
