Who writes the help files at Microsoft? After opening Help and Support on the the Start menu of W2K8R2 w/SP1 and doing a search on "Server Core" without quotes, I arrive at "Server Core Installation Option Overview". At the bottom of that page I'm told "To learn more about Server Core installations, you can view Help on your server. To do this, search for and then double-click servercore.chm". After a thorough search of the Windows directory of the primary server and also the server core server, the installation disk, the TechNet site and the entire web I am unable to find any such file! Does anyone have a clue?

you can download a doc document from the following link. Server Core Installation Option Getting Started Guide http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=b16f4dc4-a3d3-4dc7-aa51-a1c6728b217a&displaylang=en
