Overall Satisfaction with Windows Server
The most basic feature in Windows Server is obviously the Active Directory. This is basically a central place where you create, update, block, and cancel user accounts. Those accounts enable every worker of the company to log on to any computer (unless you configure it not to) and to each receive everywhere their personal authorization. As this implies you can also configure what each user can do, use, and access.
Pros
- Active Directory
- Shared folders and printers
- DNS
Cons
- GPO according to groups
- More intuitive backup
- AD
- DNS
- DHCP
- Instant decrease of IT issues
- Better control over data
- Easier sharing of data enabling easier cooperation
I didn't use any other system which gives the same functionality and I am not aware of any. The full integration between all components and especially the ability to integrate mail via Exchange or even via a hybrid setup with the Ofice365 cloud, including the ability to directly manage the cloud from the server, using Power Shell, is something I didn't see anywhere else.
