Windows Server 2012 build 8051 is a build of Windows Server 2012, which was shared onto the BetaWiki Discord server on 29 June 2022.

Branding

 * The branding for the Standard and Datacenter Server SKUs have been updated to now refer to the operating system as "Windows Server Developer Preview".
 * Most references to its predecessor have been removed.

Setup

 * When booting from the installation media, the  text has been changed to simply   and it is now left aligned.
 * Setup now uses the Windows Basic theme.
 * The second stage of setup is now identical to the boot screen.

Server Manager
The Server Manager received a massive interface uplift with this build, as most UI elements have been redesigned to fit with the Metro design language along with a new icon largely reminiscent of the one seen in the RTM build. The legacy MMC-based Server Manager applet has also been removed in favor of the newer version.

Miscellaneous

 * The Aero and Aero Lite themes have been updated, and are now visually similar to the variants seen in the official Developer Preview build.
 * The taskbar user tile has been removed.
 * The background in the wordoku puzzle desktop wallpaper has been changed to a dark purple background, which features a set of colorful strands at the bottom of the image.
 * An early version of Internet Explorer 10 is now included, replacing Internet Explorer 9.
 * Help and Support Center received new in-app icons.
 * Start screen accents feature some colors not seen in any other build.

Setup
Much like previous unredpilled builds of its client counterpart, the OOBE background is improperly displayed.
