  7. You have the option of installing Windows Server 2012 with Server Core Installation or a Server with a GUI. Which choice would lower the servicing needs and potential attack surface?

    Answer: Server Core Installation

    Explanation: The Full installation option present in Windows Server 2008 R2 is identical to the "Server with a GUI" option offered in Windows 8. We advise selecting the "Server Core Installation" option unless you have a specific need for the extra user interface components and graphical management tools that are included in the "Server with a GUI" option. This is because the "Server Core Installation" option reduces the amount of disk space required, the potential attack surface, and especially the servicing requirements.
