IBM also released server editions of Warp 3 and Warp 4 which bundled IBM's LAN Server product directly into the operating system installation.

Since then, seven more distinct " client " and " server " editions of Mac OS X have been released, the most recent being Mac OS X v10. 8, which was first made available on July 25, 2012.

However, it is not compatible with server editions of Windows NT, 2000, nor 2003 by design — a more expensive product from the same manufacturer, ServerMagic, would handle these-nor does it run on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

In 1994 Novell released UnixWare 1. 1, which included TCP / IP in both the personal and advanced server editions.

The Advanced Merge application was installed on both the server and personal editions to allow running DOS and Windows 3. 1 applications.

Both the personal and server editions supported two processor systems, with the possibility of buying extra Processor Upgrade licenses for the server edition.

In 1999 SCO released the UnixWare 7. 1 update which increased the number of editions, the Business ( 5 user ), Department ( 25 user ) and Enterprise ( 50 user ) editions replaced the earlier personal and server editions.

The Terminal Services server is supported as an official feature on Windows NT 4. 0 Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000 Server, all editions of Windows XP except Windows XP Home Edition, Windows Server 2003, Windows Home Server, on Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs, in Windows Vista Ultimate, Enterprise and Business editions, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and on Windows 7 Professional and above.

It is a 32-bit Windows system available in both workstation and server editions with a graphical environment similar to that of Windows 95.

Compared with the full server editions of SQL Server 7. 0 and 2000, MSDE has some restrictions: a limit of 2 GB databases, and has a workload governor which reduces its speed when eight or more concurrent workloads are running.

This includes the server editions of Microsoft Windows operating system itself, as well as products targeted at the wider business market.

Essentials is a scaled down version for 1-25 users, both the other editions are based on the Windows Server codebase and include Microsoft Exchange Server mail server, Internet Information Services ( IIS ) web server, Windows SharePoint Services for collaboration, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 email client ( not included in 2008 ), Routing and Remote Access Service ( RRAS ), Windows Server Update Services for update management across the network, and a Fax server.

Active Directory was previewed in 1999, released first with Windows NT server.

However, these same features made Windows NT perfect for the LAN server market ( which in 1993 was experiencing a rapid boom, as office networking was becoming common ).

A few services not essential for server environments are disabled by default for stability reasons, most noticeable are the " Windows Audio " and " Themes " services ; Users have to enable them manually to get sound or the " Luna " look as per Windows XP.

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is based on the Windows Server 2003 codebase ; with the server features removed and client features added.

Windows Home Server ( codenamed Q, Quattro ) is a server product based on Windows Server 2003, designed for consumer use.

At the Professional Developers Conference ( PDC ) 2008, Microsoft also announced Windows Server 2008 R2, as the server variant of Windows 7.

There are, however, OS / 2-based antivirus programs, dealing with DOS viruses and Windows viruses that could pass through an OS / 2 server.

Microsoft's ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center only synchronize with Microsoft Outlook or a Microsoft Exchange server.

* SGI 1100 server ( Linux / Windows )

* SGI 1200 server ( Linux / Windows )

* SGI 1400 server ( Linux / Windows )

* SGI 1450 server ( Linux / Windows )

Notably, Windows is one of the few modern desktop / server OSs that does not include SSH by default.

An in-kernel web server ( like TUX on GNU / Linux or Microsoft IIS on Windows ) will usually work faster, because, as part of the system, it can directly use all the hardware resources it needs, such as non-paged memory, CPU time-slices, network adapters, or buffers.

However, this detail is left to the design of an X server implementation and is not universal ; for example, X server implementations for Windows and Macintosh typically do not provide these keyboard shortcuts.

The server software normally runs on Unix ( although at least the CVSNT server also supports various flavors of Microsoft Windows ), while CVS clients may run on any major operating-system platform.

Name servers also exist on some Microsoft Windows networks where one host can take the role of NetBIOS browse master and act as a NBNS server.

Small local networks of Windows systems require no central name server, and generally perform name-resolution using a broadcast algorithm.

Without such instrumentation one might have to have someone crouched over Windows Task Manager at the server to see how much CPU load the performance tests are generating ( assuming a Windows system is under test ).

Terminal Services, previously only available as a separate edition of NT 4, was expanded to all server versions.

The Microsoft Windows family of operating systems also runs on x86 hardware and, since Windows NT, have been available in versions suitable for server use.

** Backup Domain Controller, a Windows NT 4 server that has a backup copy of the user accounts database

** Primary Domain Controller, a pre-Windows 2000 NT server with the master copy of the user accounts database

Although the Windows NT NTFS can support forks ( and so can be a file server for Mac files ), the native feature providing that support, called an alternate data stream, ( introduced for this very reason ) has never been used extensively — certainly not as a true resource fork.

FrontPage's initial outing under the Microsoft name came in 1996 with the release of Windows NT 4. 0 Server and its constituent Web server Internet Information Services 2. 0.

The first Microsoft web server was a research project at the European Microsoft Windows NT Academic Centre ( EMWAC ), part of the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, and was distributed as freeware.

* Primary Domain Controller, a server computer in a pre-Windows 2000 NT server Domain

As of version 3, Samba provides file and print services for Microsoft Windows clients and can integrate with a Windows NT 4. 0 server domain, either as a Primary Domain Controller ( PDC ) or as a domain member.

By default, a Microsoft Windows NT 4. 0 server used NetBIOS to advertise and locate services.

Alternate terms for daemon are service ( Microsoft Windows NT ), subsystem ( IBM z / OS ), server virtual machine ( IBM VM ), ghost job ( XDS UTS ).

* Microsoft includes AFP 2. 2 server support as an option in some versions of Windows ( NT, 2000 & 2003 ).

Equivalent third party server products include the open-source Netatalk suite on Unix-like systems, and Services for Macintosh on Microsoft Windows NT and 2000.

* Windows NT 4. 0 Server, released in 1996, was designed for small-scale business server systems.

* Windows NT 4. 0 Server, Enterprise Edition, released in 1997, is the precursor to the Enterprise line of the Windows server family ( Advanced Server in Windows 2000 ).

The 1. x versions of the product defined the scope of control of the management server ( the site ) in terms of the NT domain that was being managed.

Windows NT server, one domain controller per domain was configured as the Primary Domain Controller ( PDC ); all other domain controllers were Backup Domain Controllers ( BDC ).

The second most significant enhancement offered through the release was that it provides client / server support for interoperating with Windows 95, which was released three months after NT 3. 51.
