Overall Satisfaction with Windows Server

Windows Server is the backbone of our server infrastructure. It handles our User Identity management via Active Directory, File and Storage management for tens of thousands of users across 100 sites, Print services, Software Assignment via App-V management. Without Windows Server our entire infrastructure would be unable to function as it is run 100% on it.
  • Identity Management
  • File and Directory Services
  • Print Server
  • Increased support for Powershell (always growing)
  • Optimized Memory usage
  • Nested settings windows and drilling down to find what you need.
  • Easy to spin up
  • Enterprise licencing agreements make it easier to control server spread
  • Low impact on hardware requirements allow for better purchasing options
Windows Server has become one of the industry standards for providing file and directory services for the majority of users because of the ease with which it interacts with the common desktop OS, as opposed to needing to provide esoteric support for users to be able to work quickly and efficiently with their files, folders and the internet.

Windows Server is the best base to do most forms of infrastructure building on. It is stable, well-designed, and allows flexibility without requiring tremendous commitment for specific configurations. You can select to access it via the GUI, or via command-line/Powershell, enabling you to reduce the footprint based on how you want to interact with it.
