Server Roles

Windows 2003 - Server Roles
Microsoft's slogan of - 'Easy to deploy, use, and manage' - does have a ring of truth. However, it does rely on you having the knowledge and skill to make your Windows Server 2003 fulfil its potential. I must confess that even though I am familiar with the different types of server, every time I checked with the 'Configure Your Server Wizard', I found at least one feature that I would otherwise have missed, so my mantra became - 'Give the wizard a chance'.

Roles for your Windows 2003 Server
Domain Controller
DNS (WINS)
DHCP
File Server
Print Server
Application Server
Mail Server
Terminal Services
RAS - Dial-in or VPN
Streaming Media
