Как запустить графическую оболочку windows server 2016

At Microsoft Ignite 2015 in Chicago, Microsoft unveiled the next preview of Windows Server. In the latest version, not only is the GUI not the default, but it also isn’t installed at all without additional post-install steps. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how you can enable the GUI for those applications that still require a graphical user interface in Windows Server 2016.

If you’ve taken the time to install the latest build of Windows Server Technical Preview 2, you may have noticed that the graphical user interface (GUI) is no longer an option in a default install. When you’re prompted to select the operating system you want to install, you have two options.

Windows Server 2016 - Select the operating system you want to install
Windows Server 2016 – Select the operating system you want to install

The first option, Windows Server Technical Preview 2 (the verbiage will most likely be replaced with Windows Server 2016 when the product is eventually released) is the traditional Server Core install that doesn’t include the GUI.

Just to show you how hardcore and serious Microsoft is, the Control+Alt+Delete logon prompt sits in a command prompt box. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this one day go the way of UNIX/Linux and drop the window completely in favor of just straight text.

The second option, Windows Server Technical Preview 2 (with local admin tools), is the “MinShell” install that contains a minimal GUI that includes Server Manager and the other GUI administration tools, but no traditional desktop.

Install the GUI on Server 2016 “MinShell”

If you’re running the MinShell version of Windows Server 2016 that includes Server Manager and the other GUI administrative tools, installing the full GUI is rather easy. At the command prompt that you get when you log in, type powershell and press Enter to run PowerShell. Then, run the following command:

Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell -Restart

The first part is the Install-WindowsFeature PowerShell cmdlet that tells Windows to install a feature of Windows Server. The second part tells the cmdlet that you want to install the GUI. The last part tells Windows to automatically reboot after installing the feature. The reboot is required to finish the install; just be aware that adding -Restart will force the reboot immediately following the completion of the install.

Install the GUI on Server Core

If you decided to install Server Core, you have slightly more work to do to get the GUI installed. If you run the PowerShell command we used in the MinShell version of Windows Server 2016, it will fail and you’ll get a pretty big error message with lots of red error text: “Install-WindowsFeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed. Installation of one or more roles, role services, or features failed. The source files could not be found.”

We can dig a little bit by running this PowerShell command:

Get-WindowsFeature *gui*

This will show us the installable GUI options on the server. As you can see in the screenshot below, the Install State is “Removed.” Because this is a Server Core install, options such as the GUI aren’t cached on the disk for quick install. Instead, we’ll have to access the OS install WIM file to install the GUI.

In my example, I’m using a Hyper-V VM that has the Windows Server Technical Preview 2 ISO image connected to the DVD drive so I can access the install.wim file. To install the GUI, I run this command:

Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell –Restart -Source wim:D:sourcesinstall.wim:4

After a reboot on Windows Server 2016 MinShell or Server Core, you’ll be greeted by the full graphical user interface.

To install the GUI or not?

Most, if not all, organizations still have server-based applications that don’t play well with Server Core and need the full GUI. In many cases, the management tools and agents that we use to manage those servers are the apps that need the GUI. Until more vendors catch up to Microsoft’s philosophy, we’ll still see lots of sysadmins installing the GUI on their servers.

In a perfect world, I’d love to see Microsoft embrace some of the Linux philosophy with respect to GUIs. If the GUI was something that ran only when we needed it, then Windows systems administrators could run the GUI whenever they needed to perform certain administrative functions or use applications that don’t support a pure command-line interface.

That would also allow the GUI to remain in an offline mode when it wasn’t needed, and it could be patched without the need to constantly reboot the system for updates. As it stands today, the non-GUI version of Windows Server just looks like a GUI that’s been stripped of the Start menu/screen, Task Bar, File Explorer, and other useful GUI tools other than a few utilities. As for what the future holds for Windows Server, I don’t think the GUI will ever completely go away, but now is the time to start using and learning PowerShell before you’re left in the dust.

In today’s article, we will see a typical installation of Windows Server 2016 Desktop Experience, the ‘full’ version including the graphical user interface (GUI).

Before the installation

I mention the following for typical reasons as it is not self-evident for everyone.

  • Check the system requirements and instructions given by Microsoft.
  • Download the Windows Server 2016 installation ISO from the Evaluation Center, if you like.
  • If you are going to install it on a physical machine then you have to burn it to a DVD or a USB flash drive. Personally, I prefer to do it with Rufus.
  • You must select the DVD or USB as the boot device in the BIOS/UEFI settings.

Select Language, Time, and keyboard language and click Next to continue.

Install Windows Server 2016 with GUI (Desktop Experience)

Click the Install now button to continue.

Install Windows Server 2016 with GUI (Desktop Experience)

Here, select the version of Windows Server 2016 you are about to install. What you need to keep in mind is selecting the Desktop Experience version, which means the version with the graphical interface will be installed.

Install Windows Server 2016 with GUI (Desktop Experience)

Accept the terms of use by selecting I accept license terms option and click Next to continue.

Install Windows Server 2016 with GUI (Desktop Experience)

Since it is a clean installation rather than upgrading a previous version, click Custom: Install Windows only (advanced).

Install Windows Server 2016 with GUI (Desktop Experience)

Select the disk to be installed in Windows Server 2016. At this point, you can create different partitions as well as load the respective drivers for the drives as long as required by the manufacturer. In a typical installation, you do not have to do anything more than simply selecting the disk.

Install Windows Server 2016 with GUI (Desktop Experience)

The installation of Windows Server 2016 is in progress. You will have to wait a few minutes.

Install Windows Server 2016 with GUI (Desktop Experience)

After restarting the server, you will be prompted to type the local administrator account password. Ensure that the password meets the basic complexity requirements.

Install Windows Server 2016 with GUI (Desktop Experience)

Immediately after, the last actions will be performed and you will be ready to use Windows Server 2016. As you can see, by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + Delete key you can connect to the local administrator account you created in the previous step.

Install Windows Server 2016 with GUI (Desktop Experience)

That’s it!

After you’ve finished installing Windows Server 2016, you can go ahead with some of the basic settings you’ll need to do first. Indicatively, the most common are:

  • Set time, time zone, and date
  • Change server name
  • Change basic IPv4 network settings
  • Join a local Active Directory domain

Some people would feel frustrating about that after installing Windows server 2016 successfully, the user interface has changed. There is no a graphic user interface, so all the operation would be executed by typing some professional commands. That is not easy for some users who are not familiar with Windows server, especially for the people who is the freshman for Windows server. Then people may ask whether there is a way to enable the GUI in Windows server 2016. Here I would show you how to enable the GUI in Windows server 2016.

Here I would show the detailed steps from scratch.

When we begin installing the new Windows server 2016, there are many options for us.select-one-version-of-operating-system

You can see many option are list on the above picture. The options without Desktop Experience are the core editions. They would not offer GUI after installation. And the ones with Desktop Experience would offer full GUI features. If you clear about which is your favor, you would find the problem and has no need to read the under passage. But if you just wrong installed the core edition of Windows server 2016 and you regretted it when finding that all the operations have to be implemented by typing commands. Then you should follow the under steps.

Step 1: Open PowerShell console and type Get-WindowsFeature -Name *GUI* into it.check-and-get-windows-server-gui

You would find that all the install state of the GUI features listed are shown as removed. And now you should try to install the removed GUI features. Before that, you should make sure that your server has access to internet.

Step 2: Just type Install-WindowsFeature -Name Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra into PowerShell console and press Enter to execute it.try-installing-some-gui-feature

Typically, when the above operation is completed and you should just type Restart-Computer into the PowerShell console to restart your server. Then you would see windows server 2016 with the full graphic user interface(GUI).

Note: If your server has no access to the internet, you would probably see a large number of error message with red color. Then you have to use your installation media to successfully install server GUI features. Before you can do that, you need to identify appropriate index of Windows server 2016 edition from which you want to install features. The GUI features are only default built in the editions labelled with desktop experience, so you should skip indexes for core editions in the list.error-message-when-installing-gui

So here i would show you installing the GUI features from a installation media.

Here we go.

Step 1: If you have store the windows server installation media in this system before, just navigate to the path of it.  Type the command Get-WindowsImage -ImagePath XXXXXX into the console.

Attention : The GUI features information are stored in install.win file located on D:sources in my system drive, so you should just adapt it to your condition.

Here the GUI features related file’s path is D:sourcesinstall.wim. Then i just type Get-WindowsImage -ImagePath D:sourcesinstall.wim into the console to find the system imageindex.2017-10-19_16-51-27

From the first picture in this passage, we know that the imageindex of core edition without GUI is 1 and 3. Then you should just choose the right imageindex between 2 and 4. Here i would choose the imageindex as 2.

Step 2: Type Install-WindowsFeature -Name Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra  -Source wim:D:sourcesinstall.wim:2 into PowerShell console. And press Enter to execute it.install-GUI-features-from-installation-media

Note: To install feature from non-default location, you should follow the appropriate syntax like below.

InstallationProvider:WIMFileLocation:ImageIndex

So if you want to install the GUI features from a installation media, you should follow the syntax.

Step 3: After the above operation is finished, you should be prompted with the information that you must restart this server to finish the installation process. Just type Restart-Computer into the PowerShell console and execute it.restart-server

Then you would find that the full GUI features has been enabled in your Windows server 2016.full-GUI-interface

Server 2016 comes with 2 options:

  1. Windows Server 2016, and
  2. Windows Server 2016 (Desktop Experience)

server2016-25

server2016-24

The first option has no GUI. This was known as (Server Core Installation) in Server 2012.

server2016-26

The second option has a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

This is not just a change in labels. In Server 2012 R2, the GUI was just a set of features that can be uninstalled and reinstalled as needed. This appears not to be the case in Server 2016.

Here is a feature list from a physical Server 2012 R2 Data Center with GUI:

server2016-28

and here’s the same list from a physical Server 2016 Data Center with GUI:

server2016-27

Note that the following features appear not to exist anymore in Server 2016:

  • User-Interfaces-Infra
  • Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra
  • Server-Gui-Shell

In a Server 2016 Data Center (Core) installation, attempting to install the GUI from PowerShell fails. This portion of a PowerShell transcript shows the Server 2016 Edition:

server2016-29

After mounting the ISO

server2016-30

and identifying the image ID in the WIM file for Data Center edition

server2016-31

attempting to install GUI fails:

server2016-32

GUI options are not even available in a 2016 Core installation:

server2016-33

Summary:

Unlike Server 2012, in Server 2016 it appears a Server Core installation cannot be turned into a GUI installation or vice versa.
