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 ServerGui-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 work.

Is Server Manager available after removing GUI?? Doesn’t seem right to me!!
Yes, Server Manager is available after uninstalling Server-Gui-Shell. I did this in my lab environment and after running running Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell -restart, I found that the Server Manager window launched automatically at login.
Microsoft considers this a “Minimal Server Interface” which gives you Server Manager, MMC, and a subset of control panel items. This is different from the Server Core installation you would get from running Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-gui-mgmt-infra.
