The tool was released last week, so now we have two options for creating a Nano Server image, powershell and\u00a0Image Builder.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the things that you can configure with the Nano Server image:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Select server roles to install<\/li>\n<li>Add device drivers to install<\/li>\n<li>Set machine name, administrator password, time zone<\/li>\n<li>Join the machine to domain<\/li>\n<li>Configure the network settings<\/li>\n<li>Create an ISO image<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before you download and install the <a
