On Windows Server 2012 Standard - Core Installation,
SHAppBarMessage(CInt(ABMsg.ABM_NEW), ABD) returns False,
doesn't register the AppBar,
and the following message doesn't adjust the Working Area.

At the moment there isn't any solution. An idea was to grab all windows and force them to stay in the new working area (needs global hooks). The second was to replace target systems shellapi (Shell32.dll). This is a bad idea.
There are not so many windows affected by this issue, as Core Installation isn't meant to be managed by windows. Docking on the bottom of the WorkingArea will allow to work with maximized elements as well.
