I see oobechk.exe
running on a Windows 2008 Server. What is it? Is it safe?

It appears to be part of the "manage your server" wizard, possibly other functions also.
It's easy to see command-line parameters used to launch some applications, eg, the 'manage your server' wizard is started with: C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobechk.exe /LaunchMYS
FYI, I'm 99% sure that the "oobe" part refers to
That is, this is some "check" that runs for the first time after you install the Windows Server operating system.
Thus: oobechk.exe
oobechk.exe
