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

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. 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 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
