Ned Pyle: Today Im going to talk about handling compressed files in Windows Server 2008 running as a Core server. You know, that thing with no pretty graphical interface and just a big command prompt that stares at you, daring you to try some successful administration.
Core mode is pretty slick super-small footprint on the disk, great memory utilization, and plenty of useful roles that can be installed. But sheesh it can be a real pain in the tail if your command-line skills are rusty or if you just havent ever had to deal with certain operations sans GUI.
