Exchange 2016 on Windows Server 2012 R2 Core

I know that Microsoft doesn’t support Exchange 2016 on Windows Server Core or Nano Server. But I decided to find out is it possible or not.

During install Exchange 2016 CU3 on Windows Server 2012 R2 Core (Standard Edition without "Server-Gui-Shell" and "Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra" features) with checked "Automatically install Windows Server roles and features that are required to install Exchange Server" wizard installs GUI by self.
