Windows Server Core and Nav Service Tier

mojo

I am curious if Microsoft supports installing the NAV Server and the NAS servers on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Core setup. I have it successfully working, and I love the small footprint and quick spin up times, and this is just what Core is for, but I have looked and I could not find anything about it being supported. I noticed that installing the admin console causes it to install all of the server GUI options and that was bad.

Thanks!

Doesn't look like Core is supported by Microsoft. I checked the installation requirements for both 2013R2 and 2016. That having been said, as long as you are willing to manage service tiers using powershell, you won't need any GUI tools. I would think it should work...

It is sad that they wont post anything on it, or at least support it. The only thing that needs a GUI is the silly management console, but I do all of that through powershell anyways. Thanks for following up.
