Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Server Core version of Windows Server 2008 R2 has a smaller footprint as it only installs necessary components for running specific server roles. This reduces the number of security vulnerabilities by reducing the attack surface. Additionally, Server Core does not include the Windows Explorer Shell, further reducing the potential for security vulnerabilities. Standard, Datacenter, and Enterprise editions all include the Windows Explorer Shell and additional components, making them less secure in comparison.
