prior to deploying Nano Server. This makes it possible for you to configure the deployed Nano Server image with just what is necessary for the role of the server. Note You install roles and features by using the NewNanoServerImage cmdlet. Additional roles will be added over time. You can check to validate what are the latest roles added to Nano Server Support at https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/mt126167.aspx. Applications Nano Server has several proven scenarios as we have discussed, but what about running applications on Nano Server as a guest VM or container workload? This would reduce the footprint required and mitigate a broad number of potential security threats. The big question is how do we get an application into Nano Server? Remember, Nano Server is a deeply refactored version of Windows, and hence if there are components that your application depends on (i.e., GUI components), not included in Nano Server, it will not run and you will need to refactor the application to support Nano Server. More info For some background reference, you can find a walkthrough example for developing an application on Nano Server at http://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/nanoserver/2016/04/27/ developing-native-apps-on-nano-server and https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/ nanoserver/2016/04/27/nanoserverapiscan-exe-updated-for-tp5/. If you have refactored your application to be compatible with Nano Server, you can use a new utility called Windows Server Apps (WSA) Installer to help you package an APPX package and install this on your Nano Server. APPX and WSA are a new framework for installing applications and overcoming some of the limitations we had with MSI Installer. More info To learn more about installing Windows Server applications on Nano Server, go to https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/nanoserver/2015/11/18/installing-windows-server-apps-onnano-server. Specializing Nano Server Just like Server Core, you can use a subset of what is available via Unattend to specialize a Nano Server image. In an effort to further reduce the deployment time beyond just the smaller footprint, a couple of commonly used Unattend settings are available to set offline: Computer name Domain join using Djoin.exe More info For information on how to perform an offline domain join using Djoin.exe, see https://technet.microsoft.com/windows-server-docs/compute/nano-server/getting-started-withnano-server. When you deploy a Nano Server image with these settings configured in the offline section of the Unattend file, Nano Server is specialized on first boot. This eliminates the second boot that occurs with Server Core during specialization, further reducing deployment time. 93 CHAPTER 3 | Application platform
Remotely managing Nano Server Nano Server is truly headless—there is no way to use Remote Desktop to connect remotely. As a result, you must perform all Nano Server management remotely, either via Windows PowerShell, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), Windows Remote Shell (WinRS), Emergency Management Services (EMS), or remote GUI tools. Note The options discussed in this section to remotely manage Nano Server are the same mechanisms that you can use to remotely manage Server Core. The only difference in managing Nano Server is that you must do it all remotely. Windows PowerShell Nano Server includes a refactored subset of Windows PowerShell called Core PowerShell, which is based on the CoreCLR. Core PowerShell provides the following: Full Windows PowerShell language compatibility Full Windows PowerShell remoting Most core engine features Support for all cmdlet types, including C#, Windows PowerShell, and CIM Because Nano Server includes Core PowerShell, it is possible to use Windows PowerShell Remoting to manage Nano Server. To do so, you need to be an administrator on the Nano Server machine and add its IP address to the management machine's trusted hosts. To do that, from an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt, run the following command (which, for this example, assumes the Nano Server machine’s IP address is 192.168.1.10): PS C:\> Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts "192.168.1.10" The following is an example of how to start an interactive remoting session: PS C:\NanoServer> $ip = "192.168.1.10" PS C:\NanoServer> $user = "Administrator" PS C:\NanoServer> Enter-PSSession -ComputerName $ip -Credential $user After you have done this, you can now run any available Windows PowerShell command as if you were entering it directly into the Nano Server console; for example: [192.168.1.10]: PS C:\users\user1\Documents> Get-Process w* [192.168.1.10]: PS C:\users\user1\Documents> ipconfig /all Not all Windows PowerShell commands are available in Nano Server. To see which cmdlets are available, run the following command: [192.168.1.10]: PS C:\users\user1\Documents> Get-Command -CommandType Cmdlet To end the remoting session, run this command: [192.168.1.10]: PS C:\users\user1\Documents> Exit-PSSession WMI Nano Server includes WMI v1 and WMI v2 as well as the providers for the included functionality. 94 CHAPTER 3 | Application platform
