You have to mount the ISO during the process. This should help.

This is my first go at it (never had one using core b4) but it turned out the
binaries are missing , hence my inability to add the gui,
I did try the PS as well
thanks

Dude, if you are gonna do any real work in Server Core, you need to be using
PowerShell.
Check out Get-WindowsFeature/Add-WindowsFeature. You want something like this:

That's from Server 2012, Server 2012 R2 will look a little different.

I was trying to follow this guide but I do not see the option that this article
shows
http://www.howtogeek.com/111967/how-to-turn-the-gui-off-and-on-in-windows-server-2012/
heck, half the options do not appear, what did I miss?

Correct (I think) let me re-state
Physical 1 running core 2012r2 and HyperV (hosting full gui MBX CAS)
Physical 2 running core 2012r2 and HyperV (hosting full gui lync)
Physical 3 running core 2012r2 and HyperV (hosting full gui finance software)
I need to convert 3 physical Core 2012 hosts to GUI
thanks again

You have a physical server, running Server Core, that is current hosting other
VMs, such as CAS, MBX, and Lync. Those VMs are already full GUI. You just want
to update the physical server currently running Server Core.
Is that correct? If so, go for it. I'm not aware of any issues.

Hi all,
I need to convert a few servers from core to gui, these are 2012r2 HyperV
hosts, my only concern is that one of them hosts Exchange 2010 CAS, and MBX,
one hosts LYNC , and the other RDS and Finance APPs .
Aside from being offline for the reboot , is there ANYTHING else I need to
watch out for?
TIA
