On a Windows Server with GUI, you can use the traditional method of setting the display resolution but as there's no Control Panel nor Settings app on Windows Server Core, the only way is through Powershell with the Set-DisplayResolution cmdlet.

Set-DisplayResolution -Width 1024 -Height 768

The cmdlet above sets the resolution to 1024x768. It will prompt you to accept the change, if you don't want that, append -Force parameter.

To get the current display resolution, you can use the Get-DisplayResolution cmdlet.

On Windows Server Core installations, you don't have Disk Management available. But you can quickly initialize and partition a new disk via diskpart. Here's a quick reference to the necessary commands in order.

1. select disk 1
2. attributes disk clear readonly
3. online disk
4. select disk 1
5. clean
6. convert gpt
7. create partition primary
8. format quick fs=ntfs label="disk label" unit=64k
9. assign letter="E"
