As far as I know "Server Core" is just a minimal version of a bigger product, maybe analagous to getting the Home version of Pro Windows. People will often mention that they are running Home or Pro, but it usually doesn't matter: it's the same Windows kernel and installer.

So don't expect a separate template, just use the template for the version of Windows it's cut down from, and that should work fine.
