Configuring Windows Server 2016 Core. Part 2: Hyper-V role installation
-
The previous part covered the basics of installing and configuring Microsoft Windows Server Core. Now, it is time to deploy the Hyper-V role on the server. The process is extremely simple, so all you need to do is just to type in few PowerShell commands and further use Hyper-V Manager to configure your virtual environment.

What's the purpose of doing this versus using the pure Hyper-V install?

@dashrender There isn't, I thought that was determined in the first part too...

This is actually a great article! It simplifies the procedure of installing a Hyper-V role from a GUI free Windows 2016 Core setup.

Which you should never do, thanks to licensing restrictions that now apply to Hyper-V that you don't have in a pure Hyper-V install.

That's nice, but again - WHY. This is not the way you should NORMALLY install Hyper-V because now you have a license tied to the hardware. I get that there are reasons, but I'm asking what they are.
