Overall Satisfaction with Windows Server

Windows Server is being used by my organization for managing All AD (Active Directory), users in the domain, and all related servers and services Company wide. All servers are Microsoft windows based i.e Microsoft Exchange server for managing users' corporate email to worldwide, and azure and other servers are providing service to cloud users globally.

Windows Server addresses the following business problems:
Management of all users in a single domain.
Due to this solution, we can implement Policies as per requirements or whenever we need them.
  • Users management is very simple & quick with all required policies.
  • Windows Servers secures users data & privacy.
  • Reporting and bind monitoring is very easy.
  • Load management must be more efficient.
  • User AI for managing data especially in storage server duplication of data).
  • Logs & reports can be export/extract in an easy way( finding error/issues is not easy ).
  • Resolve hanging issues (suddenly hung & auto run after hanging during query).
  • The most important feature of Windows Servers 2019 OS is connecting with Azure with your local/on-premises environment in a very secure layer during customization in services.
  • Storage Migration from old versions to the latest versions of Windows Servers & Azure Also, configurations, data, security policies in very smooth manners.
  • VM Environment helps an in physical server machine with virtual machines. Replications & load managing between one location to other location.
  • Windows Servers fulfill overall business objectives with its services & supports.
  • Positive impact: Avoid risk factor in users management and other business needs.
  • Positive impact: Increased efficiency with high-level security for users data and Management

We have been using Microsoft products for the last 15+ years and following are key point for choosing this solution:
