Overview

This is a group of PowerShell scripts that provide a minimal graphical interface intended to aid in common configuration tasks for Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 and the Core editions of Microsoft Windows Server 2012. It is built directly from the scripts in Core Config 2.0, but it is being worked on by a completely different team.

Tested Compatibility

  • Verified: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (Core Installation)
  • Verified: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (Complete GUI Installation)
  • Verified: Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012
  • Not verified but should function: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (Minimal Server Interface Installation)
  • Verified to be partially functional: Microsoft Windows 8 Professional
  • Verified to be partially functional: Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 with Windows Management Framework 3.0

Installation

  1. From the Downloads page, acquire the ZIP or ISO distribution
  2. If you have downloaded the ZIP version, you may need to right-click on it in Windows Explorer, go to Properties, and click the "Unblock" button.
  3. Create a folder on the root of the target system. Ex: MD C:\Corefig
  4. Copy the contents of the ZIP or ISO to the newly created folder.

Uninstallation

  1. Delete the folder created in step 3 of the installation instructions.
  2. If you wish to reverse the PowerShell execution policy set by Corefig, open a PowerShell prompt and run the following: Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted (note that other scripts you use may rely on a RemoteSigned policy)

Operation

  1. At a command prompt, switch to the folder that you created in step 3 of the installation instructions, ex: CD /D C:\Corefig
  2. For the first run, run: CSCRIPT Start_corefig.wsf
  3. You may use the Start_corefig script on each run, but on successive runs you could use the following instead: POWERSHELL .\COREFIG.PS1

Can anyone else confirm this on Server Core 2012

 

1. Set a Static IP address and Static DNS = works fine.

2. Using Corefig try and rename the default "Ethernet" to anything = fails

The powshell window in the background flashes with errors in a loop too fast to see, then the app crashes.

 

I can successfully rename the NIC with the following powershell commands manually.

 

Import-Module NetAdapter

Rename-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet" -NewName "MyNewName"

Corefig like Coreconfig are not digitally sign Powershell script.

Expect weird and undesirable behavior using it with time. It should not be use in
production environment.

My experience with it, 1st week of use find. Subsequent weeks, dumb.

Function(s) used to be find are no longer working.

The worst part, it freezes my Hypervisor. This occur on booth 2008 R2 and 2012.

Commented Issue: Freeze When Adding Server Roles [882]

Almost all functions went well, except when adding server role, it freezes.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: ejsiron **

Determined that lockup only occurs when a feature is selected for install whose parent is disabled. Changes to DISM processing in 1.1 will result in different handling that will bypass lockup.

Determined that error is not related to action of renaming network card, but other processes that occur when OK is pressed on that screen.

Fixes

  • Launch at startup works as expected. Now sets the directory as the location that the script exists in, not the directory it was called from. Also uses correct script file name. If the box was checked from a previous version, it will be necessary to uncheck and recheck it to apply the corrected value.
  • Feature checks and installation in Start_Corefig.PS1 work properly (at least for en-US) and errors are presented in a message box.
  • Detection of Hyper-V and MPIO is more consistent and reliable (again, at least for en-US).
  • Minor improvements to localization structure.
  • Lockups will no longer occur when Roles/Features are enabled/disabled that would cause problems in a dependency tree. These features will enable parents as necessary or gracefully fail to enable/disable.
  • Eliminated localization collisions caused by script interplay.
  • If SMB Direct is not enabled, it is no longer possible to attempt to set its non-existent firewall rule.
  • Ability to rename a network adapter is no longer tied quite so closely to the fate of IP operations.
  • IP and DNS change operations are much more stable and reliable.
  • No longer possible to add duplicate DNS entries.
  • Log entries are now stamped at the time of occurrence, not the time that the script was initiated.

Enhancements

  • ReleaseNotes.txt added to distribution.
  • Roles/Features module rebuilt to use new PowerShell DISM commands instead of directly invoking DISM.
  • Log file is saved to C:\ProgramData\Corefig (or \Corefig at the location that %allusersprofile% resolves to)
  • Browse dialog box for "Add Programs" adds .MSU (Microsoft patch files) and. to its filters.
  • Using the "Add..." button on the DNS Options screen no longer obscures DNS server list.
  • Now possible to call the scripts from other directories.
  • Renaming a virtual adapter operates on the VMNetworkAdapter object instead of the NetAdapter object.
