Servers are often categorized in terms of their purpose
1. Web server is a computer program that serves requested HTML
pages or files. In this case, a web browser acts as the client.
2. Application server is a program in a computer in a distributed
network that provides the business logic for an application
program.
3. Proxy server is software that acts as an intermediary between an
endpoint device, such as a computer, and another server from
which a user or client is requesting a service.
4. Mail server is an application that receives incoming emails from
local users -- people within the same domain -- and remote

configured in such a way that it seems to each user that they have
complete control of a server.
6. Blade server is a server chassis housing multiple thin, modular
electronic circuit boards, known as server blades. Each blade is a
server, often dedicated to a single application.

management of data files so that other computers on the same

8. Policy server is a security component of a policy-based network
that provides authorization services and facilitates tracking and
control of files.
9. Database server is responsible for hosting one or more databases.
Client applications perform database queries that retrieve data from
or write data to the database that is hosted on the server.
10. Print server provides users with access to one or more network-
attached printers -- or print devices as some server vendors call
them. The print server acts as a queue for the print jobs that users
submit. Some print servers can prioritize the jobs in the print queue
based on the job type or on who submitted the print job

Collecting Information
Master title style
In the first installation phase, the setup program asks for the preliminary information that it needs to
begin the installation. A setup wizard prompts you for the following information:
➢ Language: Select your language, time-zone, and keyboard type.
➢ Product Key: Enter the 25-character product key that came with the installation media. If
setup says you entered an invalid product key, double-check it carefully. You probably just
typed the key incorrectly.
➢ Operating System Type: The setup program lets you select Windows Server 2008 Standard
Edition or Core. Choose Standard Edition to install the full server operating system; choose
Core if you want to install the new text-only version.
➢ License Agreement: The official license agreement is displayed. You have to agree to its
terms in order to proceed.
➢ Install Type: Choose an Upgrade or Clean Install type.
➢ Disk Location: Choose the partition in which you want to install Windows.
➢ Upgrade to NTFS: If you want to upgrade a FAT32 system to NTFS, you’ll need to say so now.

4. Installing Updates: The setup program checks Microsoft’s website
