3. Introduction to Nano Server

4. Challenges customers face

5. Our server journey Server roles/features GUI Shell Full server Windows/Windows NT Minimal server interface Server core Server core Windows NT to Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 Modular Monolithic

6. Nano Server installation optionJust enough OS Provides higher density, reduced attack surface and servicing requirements Ideal for cloud inspired infrastructure Smaller image size, smaller attack surface, faster boot time Ideal for next generation app development Built for containers and cloud-native apps Full developer experience with Windows SDK and Visual Studio Third-party applications RDS experience Existing VM workloads Full GUI Specialized workloads Containers and modern applications Server Core Lower maintenance server environment Nano Server Just Enough OS

7. Nano ServerCloud-ready when you are Zero-footprint model Server roles and optional features live outside of Nano Server. Standalone packages that install like applications. Key roles and features Hyper-V, Storage (SoFS), clustering IIS and DNS Server available in TP4 Core CLR and ASP.NET 5 Full Windows Server driver support Anti-malware optional package System Center VMM and OM agents supported

8. Optimized for containers Server Core Nano Server Highly optimized Born-in-the-cloud applications Highly compatible Traditional applications

9. What is a container? OS Containers Windows Server containersMaximum speed and density = Operating system virtualization OS Application VM VM VM Container Container Container Applications OS Kernel Hardware Hardware Hyper-V containersIsolation plus performance Traditional virtual machines = hardware virtualization Container Container Container Container Container Container Kernel Kernel Kernel Kernel Hyper-V

12. Deployment improvements 5.42 6.3 300 40 .4 .41 Nano Server Server Core

13. Installation ofNano Server

14. An installation option, like Server Core Not listed in Setup because image must be customized with drivers Separate folder on the Windows Server media Nano Server in Windows Server 2016

15. Scripts included in Nano Server folder to make it easy to build a customized Nano Server image. New-NanoServerImage.ps1 Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 Use scripts to generate a Nano Server image for: Physical machine Virtual machine Nano Server Quick Start

16. Required Add right set of drivers for hardware or VM* Add required roles or features for servers role* Set Administrator password* Convert WIM to VHD* Optional Set Computer Name* Run commands on first boot, e.g. set a static IP address Domain Join* Dual Boot Enabling Emergency Management Services (EMS)* Installing Agents and Tools Nano Server customizations * - supported by New-NanoServerImage.ps1

17. For the leanest image, install just the drivers your hardware requires. Dism /Add-Driver /driver:<path> Nano Server includes a package of all drivers in Server Core. Dism /Add-Package /PackagePath:.\packages\Microsoft-NanoServer-OEM-Drivers-Package.cab To run Nano Server as a VM install: Dism /Add-Package /PackagePath:.\packagesMicrosoft-NanoServer-Guest-Package.cab Installing drivers

18. Nano Server folder has a Packages sub-folder: Dism /Add-Package /PackagePath:.\packages\<package> Dism /Add-Package /PackagePath:.\packages\en-us\<package> Installing roles and features

19. Provides local access to basic configuration and network settings: Computer name Domain or workgroup name Ipconfig /all information for each network adapter Ability to modify network settings to follow Emergency Management Console

20. Management ofNano Server

21. Manage Nano Server remotely PowerShell Core Server Management Tools (SMT) Server Manager Hyper-V Manager Failover Cluster Manager 5nine Manager

22. Web-based Includes replacements for local-only tools Task Manager Registry Editor Event Viewer Device Manager Sconfig Control Panel Performance Monitor Disk Management Users/Groups Manager File Explorer Also manages Server Core and Server with GUI Server management tools
