    Unless you need a specific server feature like "domain controller" is better to use HyperCore over core. It's way lighter and it's completely free. (it doesn't even ask for a serial during the installation).

    Whatever there are other good alternatives over winxshell, I've used for years sharp enviro, but there are other viable alternatives

    Anyone succeeded with creating a cab file to add GUI shell to server ACore 1709? The 16299.15 build I mean. From client or WinPE.

    Not from the full server like in 14393 - in that case I’d better just mount wim and dism remove everything I don’t need.

    That was for TP2, yes. Then it was removed. Can we (you) add it?
