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 visually identical to the boot screen.

Server Manager
The new Server Manager has been slightly updated since build 7965, navigation buttons have been redesigned to fit in with the Metro design language along with a new icon and splash screen largely reminiscent of the ones seen in the RTM build. Also, the newer version is now used by default, entirely replacing the legacy one.

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.

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

Redpill
The accent color that is applied has lighter shade than the actual one. Sometimes on the login screen, a proper accent color can be seen.
