Not: Powershell Install-ADFSStandAlone 

We're not going for StandAlone which is no more for 2012 R2 btw. 

Not: Stand Alone federation. 

Not: ADFS Web Agents 

The Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) Web Agent is a component of ADFS. It is 

used to consume security tokens and either allow or deny a user access to a Web 

application. To accomplish this, the Web server requires a relationship with a resource 

Federation Service so that it can direct the user to the Federation Service as needed. 

Answer: B 

Explanation: 

From the MSPress book "Upgrading your skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012 R2" Converting a server with a GUI to or from Server Core You can switch between a Server Core installation and full installation in Windows Server 2012 R2 because the difference between these installation options is contained in two specific Windows features that can be added or removed. The first feature, Graphical Management Tools and Infrastructure (Server- Gui-Mgmt-Infra), provides a minimal server interface and server management tools such as Server Manager and the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The second feature, Server Graphical Shell (Server-Gui-Shell), is dependent on the first feature and provides the rest of the GUI experience, including Windows Explorer. In Figure 1-9, you can see these two features in the Add Roles And Features Wizard, on the Select Features page, beneath User Interfaces And Infrastructure. To convert a full installation to a Server Core installation, just remove these two features in Server Manager. Note that removing the first feature will automatically remove the second, dependent feature. [...] You can also remove these graphical interface features in Windows PowerShell. If you have deployed a full installation of Windows Server 2012 R2 and want to convert it to a Server Core installation, run the following Windows PowerShell command: Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-GUI-MgmtiInfra -restart Remember that you only need to specify Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra for removal to remove both this feature and Server-Gui-Shell. Once the graphical management tools and graphical shell have been removed, the server restarts. When you log back on, you are presented with the Server Core user interface. 

The process can be reversed by replacing both features. You can do this from a remote server by using the Add Roles And Features Wizard in Server Manager. You can also do it locally by running the following Windows PowerShell command: Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell estart Note that when you install these two features from Windows PowerShell, you must specify them both. 

To configure Minimal Server Interface, you can either start with a Server Core installation and add Graphical Management Tools and Infrastructure or start with a Server with a GUI and remove Server Graphical Shell. 

The Graphical Management Tools and Infrastructure feature includes Server Manager and some other basic administrative tools, but it does notinclude (i.e among tohers) Windows Explorer. NB: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205467.aspx Install-WindowsFeature Installs one or more Windows Server roles, role services, or features on either the local or a specified remote server that is running Windows Server 2012 R2. 

This cmdlet is equivalent to and replaces Add-WindowsFeature, the cmdlet that was used to install roles, role services, and features in Windows Server 2008 R2.http://blogs.technet.com/b/yungchou/archive/2012/07/18/windows-server-2012-installationoptions.aspx 

Minimal Server Interface This is new. In Windows Server 2012 R2, with a Server with GUI installation one can remove the Server Graphical Shell (which provides full GUI for server) to set a full server installation with the so-called Minimal Server Interface option with the following PowerShell comlet. Unstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell estart. This basically provides a Server with GUI, but without installing Internet Explorer 10, Windows Explorer, the desktop, and the Start screen. Additionally, Microsoft Management Console (MMC), Server Manager, and a subset of Control Panel are still in place. Minimal Server Interface requires 4 GB more disk space than Server Core alone
