That’s the party line, however Windows with no GUI is extremely awkward to use, and most people just end up using RSAT to interact with it, which is just running the GUI remotely.
- Kuinox 6y agoThe purpose to not have a GUI is to be able to run on lighter hardware. It doesnt mean you have to work without GUI.
- skissane 6y agoAll my Windows boxes have a GUI, but for admin tasks I avoid using the GUI as much as possible. I do a lot of stuff logged in over SSH from my Mac laptop. I run PowerShell scripts. I also have a custom "remote-admin" Windows service (which I wrote myself) which exports functions over HTTP. (I do that to enable/disable my son's laptop account depending on whether he is allowed to use it.) I edit files over SSH using vim netrw. I will still occasionally access the GUI via RDP, but I find myself doing that less and less often.
