Clive Watson: Some of you may remember a free tool that you could use to configure Windows Server 2008 core (basically a simple GUI that allowed you to setup the system), unfortunately this tool was removed from the web.
  This *new* tool is uncomplied code (Script based) so you can even include your own additions in required.                
           
  Its available at : http://www.codeplex.com/CoreConfig        
                  
  
  This Tool is a collection of scripts which will help provision and configure a Base Windows 2008 Server Core installation, The Server Core Configurator enables you to do all those 'little jobs' via a GUI, quickly and easily!
