Windows Server 2019 must have the roles and features required by the system documented.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Unnecessary roles and features increase the attack surface of a system. Limiting roles and features of a system to only those necessary reduces this potential. The standard installation option (previously called Server Core) further reduces this when selected at installation.
