I'd need to do some digging to verify this but I don't immediately buy it really. This stuff happens at a much lower level. "Application Server" is a role which maps back to IIS really so I don't think that reply remotely has anything to do with this.

If any one is interested: I opened a case for this with MS, to get an official answer. Here is their reply: *************************************************************** Issue Definition: Does W2k8 R2 Server Core support running applications in Compatibility mode? Answer: Application server is not one of the intended/supported roles. Here is a list of roles that windows 2008 R2 core supports. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/r2-compare-core-installation.aspx If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. *************************************************************** I'm a little disappointed in this. So it's inferred that it's not a supported feature since Application server is not a supported "role"?
