Windows Server 2016 management note: SConfig is deprecated, use PowerShell instead

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

I was today setting up a new Windows Server Core installation to test application compatibility on it. One of the command-line management commands I've used with previous Server Core installations has been SConfig, but in Windows Server 2016 Core, this feature has been deprecated.

While the command is still available, it might be removed in a future. Thus, it's best to start migrating to PowerShell, which is also the official replacement recommended by Microsoft.

Hope this helps!
