The server core is a minimal installation avaiable at Windows Server 2008. A core installation provides a minimal environment for running specific server roles which reduces maintenance and management. No GUI available after server core installation, ie., No Windows Explorer, No Start Menu, No Internet explorer, No .NET Framework, No Powershell etc.,
When there is nothing available why we need to go for server core
Uses less disk space, less memory
Less need for maintenance
Less need for patching
System is more stable and security
Decreased attacking surface
