switch from Core 2012 server to full 2012 Server. Would you need all updates for full server then if you switch?

switch from Core 2012 server to full 2012 Server.

Would you need all updates for full server then if you switch from CORE to GUI? We only need to switch to GUI to verify that the server is all setup successfully as CORE server. Someone told me that they don't want to use the switch to GUI because then they would need all the updates for IE and GUI, etc?? SO, what if we need to switch to GUI only to verify the server? This is in production, would that be a security risk if you switch to GUI and have no updates for lets say 30 minutes? What is the work around to verify Server CORE then?

THank you both for the info!
Just to clarify, I was stating that it is not a security risk in your case as I wouldn't worry about the implications if you are doing this for a short time.

Yes over time leaving the GUI online without required patches would not be security and could be at risk.

For a short period you should be fine.

Will.
Yes. Thank you so much! I agree :)
