Overview of remote administration in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8

When it comes to remote administration of Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8, remember when I was a rookie. Narrowly understood as equivalent to Remote Desktop management based on RDP protocol for systems implemented via Microsoft Terminal Services, or Microsoft Management Console MMC mstsc And, of course, now the remote management approach to the Windows Server 2012 environment can be simply understood to achieve 1:1 or 1 of the servers in the datacenter through Server Manager: Multiple graphical management, or remote Automation management through PowerShell.

Server Manager is a graphical management tool built into the Windows Server 2012 non-Server Core mode environment (included in the full GUI and minimized server graphical interface Mini shell two modes). It enables remote graphical management of other Windows Server 2012 servers in the datacenter, and a single Server Manager can now achieve unified management of up to 100 remote servers.

You need to implement Server Manager role additions and deletions by modifying server roles and features:

1. Uninstall Server Manager:

For environments that already contain Server Manager (not Server Core mode) by default,

A. You can remove all server graphics shell and graphics management tool components by entering the Server Core mode and using the graphical removal server roles and features contained in Server Manager

B. Using the graphical removal server roles and features contained in Server Manager to remove only graphical management tools and infrastructure

C. You can also disable Server Manager via PowerShell by using the

Uninstall-windowsfeature-name Powershell-ise,server-gui-mgmt-infra,server-gui-shell (enter core mode)

Uninstall-windowsfeature-name Server-gui-mgmt-infra (remove Server Manager graphical components only)

2. For environments that enter no graphics management mode, such as Server Core mode, you need to enable Server Manager functionality, which you need to add through the PowerShell command.

Add-windowsfeature-name Powershell-ise,server-gui-mgmt-infra,server-gui-shell–restart

In addition, remote administration is enabled by default for remotely managed servers, or remote management can be enabled or disabled locally either through the graphical interface or the PowerShell cmdlet:

1. Modify block or enable options through remote administration properties in the local graphical interface Server Manager

2. Enabled via PowerShell (run as Administrator) (this is also a one-stop configuration that also enables all required firewall exception rules)

Server Manager This management component can also be installed on Windows 8 hosts and can be used on Windows 8 systems via http://www.microsoft.com/zh-cn/download/details.aspx?id= 28972 Download and install this component separately, but this component does not provide remote administration for Windows 8, but only for the version of the server.
