Exactly which .NET version does Windows Server 2008 R2 Core support?

Question

So, Microsoft added .NET support to Windows Server 2008 R2 Core, but which is the latest version that is supported? I know it has to be either .NET 3.5 or .NET 3.5 SP1, but which is it?

Solution 1

Windows Server 2008 R2, as well as Windows 7, comes with built-in .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.

Solution 2

Vs. 2 and Vs. 3.5 (SP1) are in the box, but Vs. 4 is also supported on Windows Server 2008 R2 Core, but you have to download a special version.
