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 (not recommended for this or any other Windows version prior to 8 and 2012): Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 with Windows Management Framework 3.0
  • Minimal verification performed: Windows Server 2012 R2

Installation

  1. From the Downloads page, acquire the ZIP or ISO distribution
  2. If you have downloaded the ZIP version, you must unblock it using one of the following methods:
    1. In Windows Explorer, go to Properties of the file, and click the "Unblock" button.
    2. In PowerShell, use the Unblock-File cmdlet.
  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. Delete the "Corefig" folder created under %ALLUSERSPROFILE% (C:\ProgramData on most systems)
  3. 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 or looser policy)

Operation

This tool can only be run from the console of the system to be managed.

  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

Common Problems

  • Restricted Execution Problems

    The number one most commonly reported problem is with execution errors even when the system execution policy is RemoteSigned or Unrestricted. These errors havealways been sourced to the .PS1 files being marked as Blocked. Please refer to step 2 in the installation directions above. It is easier to unblock the ZIP file and re-extract it than to unblock each individual script file.

Please do not use the comments section on this page to report problems, as no one is alerted. Use the Discussions page instead.

Hi!
Can anyone tell me what is this very long raw data start from line 203 to 296 in hyperv.ps1?
Is this some kind of default picture?

Thanks

It looks like something is wrong with the WSF file. When running:
CSCRIPT Start_corefig.wsf

I get an error message saying there are "no jobs" to be performed. I'm pretty sure the .wsf file is broken, because the 1.1 install works fine.

First things first: yes, this project is alive. Due to so many concurrent projects I have, I'm down to my one-line-per-day minimum, but work is proceeding.

The licensing options have changed since the 2008 R2 series that CoreConfig was built upon. I'm investing a not-insignificant amount of time trying to up that to the 2012 R2 licensing set. Since licensing is (or should be) a once-per host event and SLMGR does a decent enough job, how necessary do people think this feature is to Corefig? Or, if you could get Corefig vNext sooner without it, would you want that?

In my opinion, the standard slmgr.vbs for licensing purposes is fine already as it is, so no real "need" to have it in Corefig. By using/reading "slmgr.vbs /?" people should already know how the parameters work for their licensing needs.

New Post: Importing some running physical machines

I'm building my first test lab at home and I have an old desktop with Hv Core installed and corefig GUI. The host is not in a domain, I don't have anything like SC-VMM running yet and I'm not sure what the best approach is to set up virtual networking and P2V some of my test machines, or build from ISO etc.

Would anyone know of any tutorials, or be able to give 4 or 5 of the next best steps please?

thanks for making this!
