This is a group of PowerShell scripts that provide a minimal graphical interface intended to aid in common configuration tasks for Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 and the Core editions of Microsoft Windows Server 2012. It is built directly from the scripts in Core Config 2.0, but it is being worked on by a completely different team.

From the Downloads page, acquire the ZIP or ISO distribution If you have downloaded the ZIP version, you must unblock it using one of the following methods: In Windows Explorer, go to Properties of the file, and click the "Unblock" button. In PowerShell, use the Unblock-File cmdlet. Create a folder on the root of the target system. Ex: MD C:\Corefig Copy the contents of the ZIP or ISO to the newly created folder.
Delete the folder created in step 3 of the installation instructions. Delete the "Corefig" folder created under %ALLUSERSPROFILE% (C:\ProgramData on most systems) If you wish to reverse the PowerShell execution policy set by Corefig, open a PowerShell prompt and run the following: Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted (note that other scripts you use may rely on a RemoteSigned or looser policy) Operation
This tool can only be run from the console of the system to be managed.
At a command prompt, switch to the folder that you created in step 3 of the installation instructions, ex: CD /D C:\Corefig For the first run, run: CSCRIPT Start_corefig.wsf You may use the Start_corefig script on each run, but on successive runs you could use the following instead: POWERSHELL .\COREFIG.PS1 Common Problems
Restricted Execution Problems The number one most commonly reported problem is with execution errors even when the system execution policy is RemoteSigned or Unrestricted. These errors have always been sourced to the .PS1 files being marked as Blocked. Please refer to step 2 in the installation directions above. It is easier to unblock the ZIP file and re-extract it than to unblock each individual script file.
