New way of adding a desktop to core server 2012
this is way cool, he has figured out a window shell like app and some other cool tools
GUI comprised of applications, scripts and freeware I have put together.

Adding a web brower to your core 2012 server
I am not sure why you would need to use a browser from the console of your core 2012 hyper-v server but there is a way and it works
just download
https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=f8e137f6fd1c75f2&id=F8E137F6FD1C75F2%21105&Bsrc=Share&Bpub=SDX.SkyDrive&sc=Documents#cid=F8E137F6FD1C75F2&id=F8E137F6FD1C75F2%21219&sc=Documents
firefox.cameyo.exe and run it on the core server and you will have a web browser you can use from the console of your server. Have fun surfing the web.

Just found the most amazing resource for IT ebooks. http://www.packtpub.com/
OK, so i received this email out of the blue.
This is such an honor and I have downloaded Hyper-v Replica Essentials in PDF form... it is so worth the read. If I was to write a book and publish it, this is the format I would use. The Chapters are are well laid out with tons of screen captures (a picture is worth a thousand words), it clearly was written by someone who has worked with replication in hyper-v and knows the pitfalls and the right way to make it work. I am going to recommend Packtppub.com as a valuable resource from which to get quality ebooks for all your IT needs.
Hyper-V Replica Essentials is a step-by-step guide for configuring Hyper-V Replica
in various deployment scenarios, which will help you learn how to configure this
new feature and improve the systems' availability in your datacenter. This book will
give you an overview of what Hyper-V Replica is. Then, it will take you through
all the prerequisites you need to properly configure it, which will help you take
advantage of this easy-to-configure disaster recovery tool. You will learn how to set
up a modern datacenter with the help of a new concept called Server Message Block
(SMB) from Windows Server 2012. We will also take a look at how you can configure
Hyper-V Replica in your existing environment, whether it is a clustered or nonclustered
environment, and how to secure your data with the use of certificates.
What this book covers
Chapter 1, Introducing Hyper-V Replica, will take a deep dive into virtualization and
its importance to the modern enterprises. You will also get to know about the new
features of Windows Server 2012 called Hyper-V Replica; its functionalities, values,
and components.
Chapter 2, Failover Clustering, introduces a new concept for file sharing and
application data storage called SMB. It will also show you how install Hyper-V
on a server and join servers in a Failover Cluster.
Chapter 3, Configuring Hyper-V Replica, is all about different configurations of
Hyper-V Replica, depending on the various infrastructure models. This chapter
will teach you how to configure Hyper-V in a cluster environment or in a standalone
host environment.
Chapter 4, Authentication in Hyper-V Replica, will show you how to encrypt the
communication between the Primary and the Replica site with the help of certificates.
Chapter 5, Administration of Hyper-V Replica, will teach you how to maintain Hyper-V
Replica configuration and troubleshoot the Hyper-V Replica issues.
