GUI tools can be added and removed using Windows  
PowerShell commands. 
New Server Manager includes comprehensive remote  
administration tools. 
© 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 35
A setting that removes some of the most hardware-  
intensive elements from the GUI.

Allows you to optimize resource utilization by removing 

Permanently remove files for unused features using  
Windows PowerShell commands. 
The following command will disable the Server Graphical  
Shell and remove its source files from WinSxS:

If you attempt to enable the feature in the future, the 

Setup program creates a new Windows folder in which  
to install the new version of Windows Server 2012. 
The program then migrates applications, files, and  
settings from the old OS to the new. 
To minimize risks involved in this complex procedure,  
administrators must perform backups and be able to 
troubleshoot problems that may arise. 
© 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 40
Windows Server 2012 has very limited upgrade paths.  
You can only upgrade Windows Server 2008 or  
Windows Server 2008 R2, 64 bit versions only, to their 
comparable Windows Server 2012 edition. 
For all other Windows versions and editions, you will  
have to perform a Clean Installation. 
© 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 41
Check hardware compatibility.  
Check disk space.  
Confirm that software is signed.  
Check application compatibility.  
Ensure computer functionality.  
Perform a full backup.  
Purchase Windows Server 2012.  
© 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 42
Insert the Windows Server 2012 installation DVD while  
your current server is still running, and run the Setup 
program. 
The installation program will run the same way as a  
clean installation except on the Which type of 
installation do you want page, you must select 
Upgrade: Install Windows and keep files, settings, and 
applications option. 
The Setup program will provide a Compatibility 

Migration is the preferred method of replacing an  
existing server with one running Windows Server 2012. 
Migration copies vital information from an existing  
server to a clean Windows Server 2012 installation. 
Upgrade restrictions do not apply to migrations.  
You can migrate between versions, platforms, editions,  
physical and virtual instances, and installation 
options. 
© 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 46
Different from workstation migration.  
Migrate roles or role services individually.  
Migration guides exist for different roles supported by  
Windows Server 2012. 
Some migrations require the use of Windows Server  
Migration Tools and others do not. 
© 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 47
Install Windows Server Migration Tools on the  
destination server, running Windows Server 2012. 
Create a distribution folder and copy an appropriate  
version of the tools for the source server. 
Copy the distribution folder to the source server and  
then register the Windows Server Migration Tools. 
Use Migration Guides to migrate roles, features shares,  
settings, and other data.

Microsoft releases all of its operating systems in  
multiple editions, which provides consumers with 
varying price points and feature sets. 
Windows Server 2012 includes predefined  
combinations of services called roles that implement 
common server functions. 
A clean installation is the simplest way to deploy  
Windows Server 2012 on a bare metal computer or a 
computer with a partition that you are willing to 
reformat (losing all of the data on the partition in the 
process). 
© 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 50
Many enterprise networks today use servers that are dedicated to  
a particular role. When a server is performing a single role, does 
it really make sense to have so many other processes running on 
the server that contribute little to that role? 
When you select the Windows Server Core installation option,  
you get a stripped-down version of the operating system. 
If the advantages of Server Core sound tempting, but there are  
traditional server administration tools you don’t want to give up, 
Windows Server 2012 provides a compromise that it calls the 
Minimal Server Interface. 
The Minimal Server Interface is a setting that removes some of  
the most hardware-intensive elements from the GUI. 
© 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 51
An in-place upgrade is the most complicated form of Windows  
Server 2012 installation. It is also the lengthiest, and the most 
likely to cause problems during its execution. Whenever 
possible, Microsoft recommends that administrators perform a 
clean installation, or migrate required applications and settings 
instead. 
Migration is the preferred method of replacing an existing server  
with one running Windows Server 2012. Unlike an in-place 
upgrade, a migration copies vital information from an existing 
server to a clean Windows Server 2012 installation. 
Windows Server Migration Tools is a Windows Server 2012  
feature that consists of Windows PowerShell cmdlets and help 
files that enable administrators to migrate certain roles between 
servers.

  • 51. Many enterprise networks today use servers that are dedicated to  a particular role. When a server is performing a single role, does it really make sense to have so many other processes running on the server that contribute little to that role? When you select the Windows Server Core installation option,  you get a stripped-down version of the operating system. If the advantages of Server Core sound tempting, but there are  traditional server administration tools you don’t want to give up, Windows Server 2012 provides a compromise that it calls the Minimal Server Interface. The Minimal Server Interface is a setting that removes some of  the most hardware-intensive elements from the GUI. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 51
  • 52. An in-place upgrade is the most complicated form of Windows  Server 2012 installation. It is also the lengthiest, and the most likely to cause problems during its execution. Whenever possible, Microsoft recommends that administrators perform a clean installation, or migrate required applications and settings instead. Migration is the preferred method of replacing an existing server  with one running Windows Server 2012. Unlike an in-place upgrade, a migration copies vital information from an existing server to a clean Windows Server 2012 installation. Windows Server Migration Tools is a Windows Server 2012  feature that consists of Windows PowerShell cmdlets and help files that enable administrators to migrate certain roles between servers. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 52
