Previously I had mentioned the Server Core Step-by-Step Guide that does a great job of giving you the command-line equivalents for common admin tasks. One thing it does not cover is how to uninstall applications from Server Core, but I did come across this blog on the subject. Under the covers when you uninstall a program, the Add/Remove Programs (XP/2003) and Programs & Features (Vista/2008) control panel applets are just running whatever is specified in the UninstallString registry value under HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall , so on Core installs of Server 2008 where those control panel applets do not exist, you just find that registry value and run the command it specified from the command-line. Be sure to check out the Server Core blog for other tips on Server Core.
