Just don't have a power outage without a UPS, it'll scramble your entire dedup volume. Microsoft's answer seems to be "don't run dedup unless you're in a clustered environment" meaning another server with the same copy of the data "just in case". Nice try. They shouldn't be bragging about a feature that isn't even trustworthy. Learned this the hard way just after deploying a file server.

re: Windows Server 8 – Switching Between Core and GUI

Administrators have been asking Microsoft for years to implement a non-GUI version of Windows Server and IMHO, rightfully so. I'm sorry that you see this as a step backwards. I assure you that it's not.

Some of the advantages of going with Server Core are distinctly outlined in this blog post. Sure, there are SMB's and even very large companies that will stick with full GUI - that's why it's an OPTION. I recommend that you spend some time with Server 2012, particularly the way you manage servers in this new paradigm. It's a little easier this time around to manage servers with no GUI and if any of those benefits are attractive to you or your business then why not try it? The best part is - you can always go back.

I do not see many SMBs going fully command line. How 1980s. How Novell before they crashed and burned letting MS get ahead of them in the Server GUI game.

This is a really exciting feature. I'd love to see some figures on performance too. Maybe i'll just have to give it a go :)
