<P> Unlike its predecessors, Windows Server 2012 can switch between "Server Core" and server with a DE installation option without reinstallation . Server Core is now the default configuration level . There is also a new installation option, "minimal server interface" that allows some GUI elements such as MMC and Server Manager to run, but without the normal desktop, shell or default programs like File Explorer . The "minimal server interface" is in fact a server role (Server - Gui - Mgmt - Infra), the full GUI version contains the Server - Gui - Shell role as well . Some new roles are available, like Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Active Directory Rights Management Server, and Routing and Remote Access Server, and many new features as well . </P> <P> In Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Defender is available in a Server Core installation, and is installed and enabled by default . </P> <P> Windows Server 2016 has a minimal footprint installation option (smaller than Server Core) called Nano Server, optimized for Windows Server Containers and Hyper - V Containers, as well as other cloud - optimized scenarios . Microsoft removed the GUI stack, WoW64 and Windows Installer . There is no local logon or Remote Desktop support . </P> <P> On installation, Server 2016 offers two options: Windows Server 2016 (which is Server Core) and Windows Server 2016 Desktop Experience . Switching between these versions, as is available in Server 2012, is not supported (the possibility was removed in Technical Preview 3). </P>
