I've downloaded the latest ISO (December 2019) for Windows Server 2019. When I go to install on a new server the list of install options only includes the core non-GUI install options.
How do I install Windows Server 2019 with a GUI (desktop experience) option. All the website I view indicate that there should be four options in the dialog below, where I only see two.
These days Windows server comes not only in different editions but also in different types:
Long-Term Servicing Channel - This is usually the initial release of a server, and it gets monthly security updates, but no new features. It also can not be freely upgraded to a newer version of the server as is the case for Windows 10 clients.
The current version is Windows Server 2019 - 1809
This version has both Server Core and full server (desktop experience).
Semi-Annual Channel
This has two releases each year, in 2019 it had versions 1903 and 1909
This type only comes with Core editions, no desktop experience. If you want a desktop you have to use the last Long-Term Servicing Channel version.
It seems you downloaded 1909 which is the latest Semi-Annual Channel and has no Desktop option.
On some Windows 2019 editions, the GUI is installed by default. You can simply select "Windows server standard".
You can look for a command to install the GUI feature, from inside your core command prompt. Search for Powershell command Add-WindowsFeature server-gui-shell, server-gui-infra (or something like that). It's always possible to come and go with the GUI using the powershell to Add or remove the features. Good luck.
