If your organization uses Server Core to run domain controllers, and AuthLite users will be authenticating to those DC's, then it is necessary to install the AuthLite software on those DC's.
It is not possible to install AuthLite on the 2008 Server Core R1 product from Microsoft, because it does not include or support Microsoft's .NET framework.
In Core R2 you can install AuthLite by first installing the .NET prerequisites with the following commands:
start /w ocsetup NetFx2-ServerCore
start /w ocsetup NetFx2-ServerCore-WOW64
and then installing AuthLite with:
msiexec /i <path\to\AuthLite_installer_64.msi>
