Windows Server 2022 - Server Core App Compatibility Feature on Demand
Raw
Server_Core_App_Compatibility_Feature_on_Demand.md

I am evaluating Server 2022 and ran across Server Core App Compatibility Feature on Demand (FOD).

Once installed and after a reboot, your Server 2022 Core instance will now be able to run the GUI versions of the following programs:

  • CluAdmin.msc - Cluster Admin
  • colorcpl.exe - Color Management
  • devmgmt.msc - Device Manager
  • diskmgmt.msc - Disk management
  • eventvwr.msc - Event Viewer
  • explorer.exe - File Explorer
  • firewall.cpl - Windows Firewall (simple version)
  • hdwwiz.cpl - Device Manager (again)
  • inetcpl.cpl - Internet Properties
  • lusrmgr.msc - Local Users and Groups
  • mmc.exe - Microsoft Management Console
  • ncpa.cpl - Network Control Panel
  • perfmon.msc - Performance Monitor
  • powershell_ise.exe - PowerShell Editor
  • resmon.exe - Resource Monitor
  • taskschd.msc - Task Scheduler
  • virtmgmt.msc - Hyper-V Manager
  • vmconnext.exe - Birtual Machine Connection
  • WF.msc - Windows Defender with Advanced Security

You can download this ISO from Volume Licensing Service Center.

It's called SW_DVD9_NTRL_Win_Svr_2022_64Bit_MultiLang_Langpack_FOD_App_Compat_X22-61280.ISO

Apparently this is available for older version of Windows Server Core, but I didn't know about it.
