What Is Microsoft Windows Server?

Windows Server is Microsoft’s server operating system. It provides advanced server features while also providing a Windows-quality user and administrator experience. Features provide more flexibility and abilities on every aspect of the server, from server management, to data storage, to data security, to application operating, to communication.

What Is R2?

R2 refers to “release 2,” or the second edition of Microsoft Windows Server 2012. It includes a large number of upgrades and fixes but continues to operate on the same operating system as the original 2012 edition. This is the reason it is not considered a wholly separate release.

What Is Remote Desktop Service?

With a number of programs associated with Remote Desktop Services, users are able to achieve the kind of user experience expected when directly connecting to the server while having the flexibility to work from anywhere.
