How could you use a low footprint server like the Windows 2016 nano server from Microsoft?

Windows 2016: One of the innovation on that system is the possibility to create a nano server with a realy small footprint. The idea is to generate a server with the minimum requirements. With this you can reduce the number of issues, reduce the attack surface and have dedicated servers. Some examples could be a file server, a web server (IIS) or a domain controller. With that small footprint the advertised number of shutdowns should be reduced to 2 per year according to Microsoft.

In the video I'll walk you through the required steps to install a nano server in a virtual environment.
