Setting up Windows Server 2008 Core the first time can be a little frustrating since most of tools people are used to using aren't there. So here's a cheat sheet for getting you machine setup and into the domain, at which point you can use most server management tools remotely.
Change Computer Name:
netdom renamecomputer <ComputerName> /NewName:<NewComputerName>
Reboot after 0 seconds with comment "Changed Server Name"
shutdown /r /T 0 /C "Changed Server Name"
Reboot for "OS Reconfiguration (Planned)"
shutdown /r /d p:2:4
Type "Logoff" to logoff.
Setting up Licensing:
slmgr.vbs -ipk <USE MAK KEY>
slmgr.vbs -ato
Join Domain:
netdom join Computer_Name /domain:wolftech.ad.ncsu.edu /userd:unityid.admin /passwordd:Password
Installing vmware tools:
- Select Virtual Machine->Install/Upgrade VMware Tools
- Nothing happens!
- Navigate to the CD drive and run setup.exe or msiexec.exe /i “<path to VMware Tools.msi>” /qn (for quiet install)
- After reboot your screen will now be @ 640x480!
