Abstract
The chapter reviews server roles and provides an understanding of the roles Windows Server 2003 can play on the network. The chapter discusses domain controllers; file and print servers; dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), domain name system (DNS), and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) servers; Web servers; database servers; mail servers; certification authorities; and terminal servers. The chapter also focuses on planning a server security strategy, and explains choosing the right operating system according to security needs, identifying minimum security requirements for any organization, and identifying the correct configurations to satisfy those security requirements. Server roles are the profiles that are used to configure Windows Server 2003 to provide specific functionality to the network. When one sets up a server to use a specific role, various services and tools are enabled or installed, and the server is configured to provide additional services and resources to network clients. Roles are applied to machines using the Configure Your Server Wizard and managed using the Manage Your Server tool.
