The following table lists the benefits of Server Core.
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Reduced servicing | Because Server Core installs only what is required for a manageable DHCP, File, DNS, Media Services, and Active Directory server, less servicing is required. |
| Reduced management | Because less is installed on a Server Core-based server, less management is required. |
| Reduced attack surface | Because there is less running on the server, there is less attack surface. |
| Less disk space required | Server Core requires about 3.4GB to install. |
