But my intention is still more of a "shortcut" way, if the user wants to know what's happening you can just open the file and look at the command. It's more of a "getting started" tool for the admin who feels that the learning curve is steep but still <em>wants </em>to learn.

Once your USB key is attached or CD is loaded, you can run the .exe on a running system or boot from bare-metal. Just been experiementing. Thanks for your posts.

Nope, haven't tried it. But their approach is somewhat different from mine. My approach is to use the built-in commands and be able to run it from USB / CD without installation. The script was originally made for internal use only, but once "in the wild" it's been improved. The target audience is people who wants to use Server Core but haven't learned all the commands or just want an easier way to administer their server. Hi!

That script uses a vb-script too and has some other functionality. My tool is only a batch-file, of course with the limitations thereof. If you're in doubt a batch file is easy to check the source of, so why don't you compare? A better comparison is made of Sander Berkouwer over at http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/sanderberkouwer/archive/2008/10/14/overview-of-free-server-core-configuration-tools.aspx Isn't anonymous comments hopelessly 2004? If you have an opinion it'd be better to stand for it. The other tools available is Core Configurator which comes as an msi and the other one is to rip the console out of Hyper-V Server 2008.
