HOTSPOT
You deploy a Server with a GUI installation of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.
From Windows PowerShell, you run the following command: Remove-WindowsFeature
Server-Gui-Shell.
In the table below, identify which tools are available on Server1 and which tools are
unavailable on Server1.
Make only one selection in each row. Each correct selection is worth one point.
Explanation:
When you uninstall “Server-GUI-Shell” you are left with a “Minimal Server Interface”
server.So, File Explorer and IE10 are unavailable, but MMC and Server Manager works.

Minimal Server Interface
In Windows Server 2012, you can remove the Server Graphical Shell, resulting in the “Minimal Server Interface.” This is similar to a Server with a GUI installation, but Internet Explorer 10, Windows Explorer, the desktop, and the Start screen are not installed. Microsoft Management Console (MMC), Server Manager, and a subset of Control Panel are still present.
