Hello, I'm confused about what type of server the Microsoft Windows server is.

Windows servers can be application servers, database servers (Active Directory with LDAP), web servers (IIS), and so on, depending on what i install in addition to roles and features wizard, making it difficult to define what Windows Server is.

Question 2

-definition-

what is server infrastructure?

what is server platform?
