PSHELL > Faster, Capable, Simple PowerShell (Isvet Laclaustra)

PowerShell V2.0 certainly keeps the “SUPER” in the Super Easy in Windows Server 2008 R2 Core installations. Yes anyone who need to have a fast server for a specific Role or Feature in both virtualized & physical environments can SURELY appreciate the  2008 R2 Core. By removing almost all the GUI from the OS you can improve security and speed up the system. Any who uses OPEN SOURCE Distributions, really appreciated the SHELL speed, so in Windows the PShell has provided the same love for IT Managers / System Managers who want fast servers always keeping the resource consumption LEAN and 2008 R2 CORE installations surely deliver that.

Yet all the lovers of the GUI in Windows can still perform “at speed” on CORE installations by using the UPDATED version of CoreConfigurator 2.0 which has been updated for the Windows Server 2008 R2 editions. SIMPLE AND FAST the CoreConfigurator 2.0 delivers the love for the IT Admin who desires the GUI for:

Adding Roles, Features and configuring the BASICS of a Server at the RACK, either Virtualized or Physical.
