Just wondering if that is even possible / supported .. Can't find a proper 'yes' or 'no' 
Just trying to save some resources on a hosted server running 2012 / Exchange 2013

"We don’t support the installation of Exchange 2013 on a computer that’s running in Windows Server Core mode. The computer must be running the full installation of Windows Server. If you want to install Exchange 2013 on a computer that’s running in Windows Server Core mode, you must convert the server to a full installation of Windows Server by doing one of the following"

Looks like you can migrate to servercore post installation based on the wording found on the url. -

"Server Core can't be used as a platform for running server applications such as Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server, or third-party server applications like SAP"
Why Is Server Core Useful?
Kind of a bummer. Bottom of the page.
