Re: [NTSysADM] What is the argument for Windows Server Core/NanoServer over Linux?

2017-06-05 Thread Andrew S. Baker
​Agreed.  It is a risk/reward consideration.

If you cannot afford to get breached, then this is far less costly than a
breach.

Often, people belatedly realize that they could have afforded to do
something differently than they initially considered.​

Until I implement, I can't say for sure just how practical it is or
isn't, but it seems to me that if your org is under any kind of
regulatory regime (HIPAA, SarbOx, JSOX, etc.) that at least the Domain

Seemingly only practical, though in the most high security situations. I can’t 
imagine that too many of us will bother with it since it’s more administrative

I prefer remote management, actually. The insane thing is how easy it is to 
build out Nano servers. That another reason; not having a local GUI will 
prevent me from always using RDP; trying to move away from that as much as 
possible.

Running Core and Nano does not mean running without a GUI, they mean running 
without a GUI locally.  The majority of the server management GUI tools can 
connect to a remote server (Core, Nano or Desktop), it is a matter of having 
your firewall and authentication setup to allow this.  The transition is 
difficult but unless we wish to fall like the mainframe people who refused to

Nano is new but Core has been around since Server 2008.  I would not call that

Yes, people usually do run Linux servers without a GUI. What I meant was that 
you can use Windows Server Core or Nano to avoid the Windows GUI, thus not 
having to use Linux to get those benefits.

 

As someone else said, it depends on what the application is as to what platform

Subject: [NTSysADM] What is the argument for Windows Server 
Core/NanoServer over Linux?

 

Hey all,

Just had to ask this one. I’m really curious because I’ve heard the 
argument, well, if you’re going to run server Core, why not just use linux? 
What can you say to make the conversation worthwhile and not just arguing 
preferences? Or is that really what it’s all about these days? Iv’e been 
wondering what the people who have been on both sides might say.

That’s the difficulty I’m having; currently, I’m the only one in my group who 
sees any benefit to the ASP.net platform, for instance (I’m a DNNizen, and 
trying to rise in prominence in that community, for example). Why run ASP.NET 
when you can run Wordpress, they say. Why run IIS when PHP was born on Apache, 
they say. The other issue I have is that when dealing with creatures of habbit, 
it’s hard to get people to look at current stats. I tend to use what works, not 
what the market tells me I should, for the most part. Does it have to do with 
what you were brought up with? Plus because Core and Nano are new; so I think 
in my case the issue is getting people who are used to one thing to get used to 
another. There’s that saying, use the right tool for the job, so how to ensure 
that you choose the right one when both can perform equally well? I’m an 
explorer, so it’s easy for me to say, let’s try something new and fun.

Yes, people usually do run Linux servers without a GUI. What I meant was that 
you can use Windows Server Core or Nano to avoid the Windows GUI, thus not 
having to use Linux to get those benefits.

As someone else said, it depends on what the application is as to what platform 
is more appropriate. I think that’s the real answer.
