One of the most exciting new features of Windows Server 2008 is its ability to install as a Server Core machine.

A Server Core installation provides a minimal environment for running specific server roles, which reduces the maintenance and management requirements and the attack surface for those server roles. A server running a Server Core installation supports the following server roles:
* Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) 
* Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) 
* DHCP Server 
* DNS Server 
* File Services 
* Print Services 
* Streaming Media Services 
* Internet Information Services (IIS) 
* Windows Virtualization
