Installing and Uninstalling PowerChute Business Edition 
on Windows Server 2008/ 2012 Server Core


PowerChute Agent and Windows Server Core
------------------------------------------------------------
PowerChute Agent is the only component that can be installed to 
Windows Server 2008 Server Core or 2012 Server Core 
(both 32-bit and R2 64-bit operating systems). 

PowerChute Server and PowerChute Console cannot be installed 
to these operating systems.

PowerChute components and Windows Server 2008 and 2012
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All three PowerChute components - Agent, Server and Console - 
can be installed to a machine with a GUI version of Windows Server 
2008 and 2012.

Note: On Windows Server 2012, it is possible to install PowerChute 
Server and Console on the GUI and to subsequently switch to 
Windows Server Core or Minimal Server Interface: 
however it will not function correctly.
