I have been blogging recently about a few commands I have found useful in setting up generic Server Core installations.  I am using these to for a prototyping environment for my research into distributed computing.  I thought it only responsible to let people know about Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows to save them from excessive cmd line hacking.

Windows Server 2008 is all about the Roles and Features.  Remote Server Admin Tools allows this to be handled remotely.

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows® 7 enables IT administrators to manage roles and features that are installed on computers that are running Windows Server® 2008 R2, Windows Server® 2008, or Windows Server® 2003, from a remote computer that is running Windows 7. Microsoft.com
