What Are Server Roles?

Un rol del servidor describe la función principal de un servidor Un rol del servidor describe la función principal de un servidor

Server Roles consist of one or more Role Services:

Print and Document Services (Server Role)

Print Server (Role Service)

LPD Service (Role Service)

Internet Printing (Role Service)

Distributed Scan Server (Role Service)

• Los administradores pueden dedicar un equipo entero a una función o instalar múltiples funciones del servidor en un único

Infrastructure and Application Services Server Roles

Application Server • Provides a solution for hosting and managing distributed applications

DHCP Server• Automatically allocates IP addresses and IP configuration information

to clients

DNS Server • Provides name resolution for TCP/IP networks

Fax Server• Sends and receives faxes electronically rather than requiring paper-

based copies of documents

File Services• Provides technologies for storage management, file replication, and file

searching

Hyper-V • Provides server virtualization functionality

Network Policy and Access Services

• Provides support for LAN or WAN routing, network access policy enforcement, VPN connections, and dial-up connections

Print and Document Services • Enables and manages network printing and document management

Remote Desktop Services• Allows users to run programs on a remote server but view the results in

a Remote Desktop window

Web Services (IIS) • Enables Windows Server 2008 as a Web server

Windows Deployment Services • Deploys Windows operating systems to computers over the network

Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)

• Allows network administrators to control Microsoft Update distribution to clients and servers

Active Directory Server Roles

Server Role Description

Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)

Stores information about users, computers, and other devices on the network. AD DS helps administrators securely manage this information and facilitates resource sharing and collaboration between users and organizations.

Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS)

Provides customizable services for issuing and managing certificates in software security systems that use public key technologies.

Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)

Provides Web SSO technologies to authenticate a user to multiple Web applications that use a single user account.

Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)

Organizations that have applications which require a directory for storing application data can use Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) as the data store. AD LDS runs as a non-operating-system service.

Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS)

Information protection technology that works with AD RMS-enabled applications to help safeguard digital information from unauthorized use.
