(Another) GUI-based Server Core Configurator

If you remember not too long ago a Microsoft employee authored a GUI-based tool for configuring Server Core 2008. That tool was later pulled from the web site due to some legal complications with Microsoft itself. In the mean time, another group has developed a Codeplex project to write a replacement tool.

If you're interested in using Server Core but still afraid of its strict reliance on command line tools for configuration, this GUI-based configurator is a solution for you. It provides a slick centralized location for configuring network, display, updates, and other common configs that need to happen to a brand new Server Core instance.
