Windows Server

Windows Server runs the identity and file services at the centre of most corporate networks: Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP and file shares. System administrators manage it in organisations of every size, increasingly alongside Azure in hybrid setups. Graphical consoles are where learners start, but the job at scale is done in PowerShell, and Server Core installations have no desktop at all.
