Hi, my name is Arnaud Buonaccorsi. I have been working with Microsoft Technologies for more than 15 years. I created the company Code403 to bring my experience and help to administrators and IT departments for their deployment of new Microsoft solutions and do better use of them.
Nice tool to manage Windows 2008 R2
December 7th, 2009 by Arnaud Buonaccorsi received No Comments »Windows 2008 R2 is coming with nice managments tools. But sometimes it is not enought. So at Code403 we are using a free opensource software to manage many things (Drivers, DCPromo, share,…)
This tool is Core Configurator and the version 2.0 is now available.
“It is built and designed for Windows Server 2008 R2 Core edition!
It is completely open source so it can be amended and change to fit your requirements, this version has been a year in the making and has been written in powershell with a reference to Winforms so that a GUI format is displayed.
The primary focus of this project is to try and get feedback and contributions back from the community to make this a tool the best/ free tool everyone will want in there toolkit, so if you have some code or features that you might want included then please leave a comment and we will get in touch.”(source from the official Core Configurator Site)
