A company’s server deployment team needs to install fourteen Windows Server 2012 R2 to handle
the expected increase in holiday traffic. The team would like the option of switching the servers
between Server Core and Full GUI servers and do not want to be locked in to their first choice.
The server team would like four of the servers to include the Windows 8 Shell.
Which installation option is required for these servers?
A.
Server Core
B.
Desktop Experience
C.
Server with a GUI
D.
Minimal Server Interface
Explanation:
The Desktop Experience installation option includes the Windows 8 Shell feature. This installation
option also includes other features available for installation not found in the other three; such as
Themes, Windows Store and support for Windows Store apps, and Windows Media Player.
Quick Tip: To completely remove a feature and the binary files from the disk, use the Windows
PowerShell command Uninstall-WindowsFeature. For example, to remove Desktop Experience:
Uninstall-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience –Remove.
Server with gui has windows 8 shell. Desktop experience only adds applications and integrated search
I agree with chaserZX
If you are running Windows Server 2012 R2, the following Windows 8.1 features are installed when you install Desktop Experience:
Windows Media Player
Video for Windows (AVI support)
Windows SideShow
Disk Cleanup
Sync Center
Sound Recorder
Character Map
Snipping Tool
Support for desktop apps
Windows Store
PC settings (adds Change PC settings to the Settings charm)
The ability to play a slide show on your lock screen
Integrated search (searches through the Search charm integrate results from the local computer and the Internet through Bing)

So the answer should be C? server with a GUI?
You can install core and add the gui later.
You can install gui and remove the gui later.
Weird question…
so what is the real answer?
I think you have to just read the last sentence, and then the question…ignore previous statements. If you just read that, then the answer is correct with B.
The additional earlier info is just trying to confuse & trick you.
Answer is definitely B.
