Set Static IP address on Server Core

By

Objective: Set a static IP Address

This example assumes that you want to configure a static IP addres of 10.10.1.10 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 of a Windows 2008 Server Core.


Task 1: Get the name of the interface you want to set an IP address for.
· Type netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces
· Press Enter
· Record the name of the interface you want to set a static IP address for. Sample output is below.

Idx Met MTU State Name
--- --- ----- ----------- -------------------
3 5 1500 Connected Local Area Connection

· Local Area Connection is the name we are interested in.
· To simplify the typing, you can also user the Idx value of 3.

Task 2: Set the IP Address
· Type netsh interface ipv4 set address name=3 source=static address=10.10.1.10 mask=255.255.0.0
· Optionally, you can add a gateway address by appending gateway=address to the end of the command.
· In the Name parameter, we used the Idx value. We could have also typed “Local Area Network”.

Task 3: Verify the address change
· Type IPConfig /all and verify that all data is correct.

Anu,

I'm not sure if you have a question here or not. If you are wondering how to get the IP address of your server core, just log in to it and type IPCONFIG /ALL.

Error icon when creating a GPO Preference drive map

By
You may not have an error at all.  Take a look at the drive mapping below. The red triangle is what threw us off.  It is not an error.  It is simply a color representation of the Replace option of the Action field in the properties of the drive mappings. Create action This give you a green triangle. The Create action creates a new mapped drive for users. Replace Action The Replace action gives you a red triangle.  This action will delete and recreate mapped drives for users. The net result of the Replace action is to overwrite all existing settings associated with the mapped drive. If the drive mapping does not exist, then the Replace action creates a new drive mapping. Update Action The Update action will have a yellow triangle. Update will modify settings of an existing mapped drive for users. This action differs from Replace in that it only updates settings defined within the preference item. All other settings remain as configured on the mapped drive. If the
