Some of you may remember a free tool that you could use to configure Windows Server 2008 core (basically a simple GUI that allowed you to setup the system), unfortunately this tool was removed from the web.
This *new* tool is uncomplied code (Script based) so you can even include your own additions in required.
Its available at : https://www.codeplex.com/CoreConfig
This Tool is a collection of scripts which will help provision and configure a Base Windows 2008 Server Core installation, The Server Core Configurator enables you to do all those 'little jobs' via a GUI, quickly and easily!

Is there a document that tells you how to write UI using WinAPI for Server Core?Anonymous

Andrew says: "No, not entirely - If you need to do any UI type program in Server Core then the only choice you have is to develop in VB6 or at a lower level ....in C,C++ . The absence of the Framework in Server Core does not give us much of an option. What exactly are you looking at doing?"
