What are three benefits of performing a Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 R2? (Choose three.)
A. Option to upgrade to a Full Server installation
B. Reduced maintenance
C. Reduced attack vulnerability
D. Enhanced installation GUI
E. Lower disk space requirement
Correct Answer: BCE
Explanation/Reference:
Benefits of Server Core:
. Reduced servicing. Because Server Core installs only what is required for a manageable DHCP, File, DNS, Media Services, and Active Directory server, less servicing is required.
. Reduced management. Because less is installed on a Server Core-based server, less management is required.
. Reduced attack surface. Because there is less running on the server, there is less attack surface.
. Less disk space required. Server Core requires about 3.4GB to install.
