Hi,
I would like to ask a generic question related to Windows Server.
Most of us think Windows Server means deploying AD-DNS and managing domain environment.
In fact, Windows Server is used in various roles and installation mode like Failover Cluster, VPN Server, NAT Server, RADIUS Server, Gateway Server, Managed Server, etc.
Please let us know different roles and installation mode of Windows Server and which are depended on the AD-DNS in the network?
I'll be thankful for giving your time.
Best Regards
NndnG

The various roles are available but if they can be deployed in a member server, it may be easier to manage. And a member server is simply any physical or virtual machine that runs a server OS that is joined to a domain.
Moreover, an active directory environment is not a hard requirement for a role.
Am I right?
Please elaborate a little. Thank you.
