Server

 In every networking model there is two type computers

are available.

 1) Client Computer.

 2) Server Computer.
1) Client Computer
 A Client is a computer that require Service or resource to
other computers.
 Client is a computer program that require services or
resources to other computer programs in the same or
other computers in the network.
 Clients computers can connect to a server through either
a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network
(WAN), such as the Internet.
2) Server Computer
 A server is a computer that serves information to other
computers.
 server is a computer program that provides services to
other computer programs in the same or other
computers in the network.
 Servers are used to manage network resources. For
example, a user may setup a server to control access to a
network, send/receive e-mail, manage print jobs, or host
a website.

Purpose of server
Server operating systems have features that let you manage
users, share printers or files, run web servers, manage email,
distribute profiles amongst machines
Let's say you have a company with 100 employees
On a server you can set up a system that will store all of the
user's profiles on the server machine.
so when someone logs onto any computer onto the network
anywhere in the company, they will see all of their profile
stuff like bookmarks and documents
Types of Servers
There are a lot of server are there in the network.
We can analyze some of them.
1) Application Servers
2) File Servers
3) Mail Servers
4) Web Servers
5) Domain Server
Application Server
An application server is a software framework that provides
both facilities to create web applications and a server
environment to run them.
Most Application Server Frameworks contain a
comprehensive service layer model. An application server
acts as a set of components accessible to the software
developer through an API defined by the platform itself.
Examples(Java application servers, PHP application servers,
Mobile application servers)
File server
In the client/server model, a file server is a computer
responsible For the central storage and management of data
files so that other computers on the same network can access
the files.
A file server allows users to share information over a network
without having to physically transfer files by floppy diskette or
some other external storage device.
File Server
Mail Server
A mail server is a computer that serves as an electronic post
office for email.
An email client or email program allows a user to send and
receive email by communicating with mail servers
There are many types of email clients with differing features,
but they all handle email messages and servers in the same
basic way.
Mail Server
Web server

A Web server is a system that delivers content or services to

end users over the Internet.
A single web server may support multiple websites, or a single
website may be hosted on several linked or mirrored web
servers
A computer that runs a Web site, Using the HTTP protocol,
the Web server delivers Web pages to browsers as well as
other data files to Web-based applications.
Web browsers communicate with Web servers via the TCP/IP
protocol
Web server

The browser sends HTTP requests to the server, which responds

with HTML pages and possibly additional programs in the form
of ActiveX controls or Java applets.
 Domain Server
 Domain Server manage a large number of Computers and
control them from one place. One or more servers known as
domain controllers have control over the domain and the
computers on it.
 When a computer is joined to a domain, it doesn’t use its
own local user accounts. User accounts and passwords are
managed on the domain controller.
 When you log into a computer on that domain, the
computer authenticates your user account name and
password with the domain controller. This means you can
log in with the same username and password on any
computer joined to the domain.
Domain Server
 Server Models
• There are two type of server models in Server network.

• 1) work Group Model

• 2) Domain Model
 Work Group
• A workgroup is a group of Computers that are connected to a
small network and share resources, Like printers and files.
• When you set up a network, Windows automatically creates a
workgroup and gives it a name.
• Each computer has a set of user accounts. To log on to any
Computer in the workgroup, you must have an account on
that Computer.
• There are typically no more than twenty PCs in a workgroup.
• A workgroup is not protected by a password.
• All PCs must be on the same local network or subnet.
 Domain
• A domain is a group of network Computers that share a
common database and security policy.
• Each domain has a unique name.
• There can be thousands of Computers in a domain.
• The Computers can be on different local networks.
• An IT admin manages the domain as a unit with common
rules and procedures.
• You probably can make only limited changes to a Computers
settings because IT admins often want to keep network
Computers consistent.
Domain
• One or more Computers on a domain are servers.
• That Servers named Domain Controller control security
and permissions for all Computers on the domain. This
makes it easier for an IT admin to make changes because
the changes are automatically made to all Computers.
• Domain users must provide a password or other sign-in
info each time they access the domain.
• If you have a user account on a domain, you can log on to
any PC on the domain without needing an account on that
Computer.
Difference Between Workgroup
and Domain
Domain Work Group

•Centralized Administration. •No Centralized Administration.

•Security of Data, User & Groups. •Not much security for Data, User
•Server & Clients Based. & Groups.
•No Server & Client Matter. Each
Computer reacts like a Client as
well as Server.
•Windows 2000 & 2003 Server or
•Basically Windows 98 & XP is
Advance Support For Server
Configuration going to used in Clients side.
•We can assign permission to
•File, Folder & User & Group
Permission we can assign drives & folder & files but not
much security than Domain
