Internet Server Application Programming Interface(An application programming interface (API) that resides on a server computer for initiating software services tuned for Windows operating systems. In Microsoft Provisioning System, ISAPI resides on the Web server)
ASP.NET server control(" A server-side component that encapsulates user-interface and related functionality. An ASP.NET server control derives directly or indirectly from the System.Web.UI.Control class. The superset of ASP.NET server controls includes Web server controls, HTML server controls, and ASP.NET mobile controls. The page syntax for an ASP.NET server control includes a runat="server" attribute on the control's tag.")
HTML server control(" An ASP.NET server control that belongs to the System.Web.UI.HtmlControls namespace. An HTML server control maps directly to an HTML element and is declared on an ASP.NET page as an HTML element marked by a runat="server" attribute, for example . In contrast to Web server controls, HTML server controls do not have an asp tag prefix. ")
validation server control(A server control, included with ASP.NET, that verifies user input. The input is checked as it comes from HTML server controls and Web server controls (for example, a Web page form) against programmer-defined requirements. Validation controls perform input checking in server code. If the user is working with a browser that supports DHTML, the validation controls can also perform validation using client script)
Web server control(" An ASP.NET server control that belongs to the System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace. Web server controls are richer and more abstract than HTML server controls. A Web server control has an asp tag prefix on an ASP.NET page, such as .")
application server(A server program on a computer in a distributed network that handles the business logic between users and backend business applications or databases. Application servers also can provide transaction management, failover, and load balancing. An application server is often viewed as part of a three-tier application consisting of a front-end GUI server such as an HTTP server (first tier), an application server (middle tier), and a backend database and transaction server (third tier))
TFS(A set of tools and technologies that enable a team to collaborate and coordinate their efforts on building a product or completing a project. The tools include source control, work item tracking, building, team project portal, reporting, and project management)
A/V Edge server(Enables internal users to share audio and video data with external users (that is, users who are not logged on to your internal network))
Front End Server(The principal server role in Lync Server and Office Communications Server. The Front End Server runs services for instant messaging, presence, web conferencing, audio/video conferencing, and telephony)
authoritative server(Pertaining to, or characteristic of, a DNS server that hosts a primary or secondary copy of a DNS zone. When a DNS server is configured to host a zone, it is said to be authoritative for names within that zone)
Survivable Branch Server(A server running Windows Server that meets specified hardware requirements, and that has Lync Server Registrar and Mediation Server software installed on it. Like Survivable Branch Appliances, this device can provide voice mail survivability for branch users during a WAN outage)
directory server(A computer that lists the names and e-mail addresses of people who are running NetMeeting and who are logged on to the server. This information is used to connect to their computers)
Location Information Server(A network node originally defined in the National Emergency Number Association i2 network architecture that addresses the intermediate solution for providing Enhanced 9-1-1 (E9-1-1) service for VoIP telephony users)
Central Management Server(The server role (one per organization) on one Front End pool in the deployment that manages and deploys basic configuration data to all servers that are running Lync Server. Also provides Lync Server Management Shell and file transfer capabilities)
clustered mailbox server(A mailbox server that is installed in a Windows failover cluster. A clustered mailbox server is used in both cluster continuous replication (CCR) and single copy cluster (SCC) configurations. A clustered mailbox server was called an Exchange Virtual Server in previous versions of Exchange Server)
proxy server(A server located on a network between client software, such as a Web browser, and another server. It intercepts all requests to the server to determine whether it can fulfill them itself. If not, it forwards the request to another server)
Trojan proxy server(A proxy server installed by a Trojan on a machine providing what appears to be an uninterrupted Internet connection while allowing unauthorized access to an affected machine)
Client Access server role(A set of components and services that enable users to access their Exchange mailboxes through the application Outlook Web Access and the protocols Exchange ActiveSync, Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3), and Internet Message Access Protocol 4rev1 (IMAP4). The Client Access server role also includes Web services that are used by other Exchange 2007 server roles)
Edge Transport server role(An Exchange Server 2007 and 2010 server role that provides anti-spam and antivirus protection and applies messaging security policies to messages in transport between organizations by using a series of agents that act on messages as they are processed by the message transport components. This server role is deployed in the perimeter network outside the Active Directory directory service forest. Computers that have the Edge Transport server role installed handle all Internet-facing mail flow and provide Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) relay and smart host services for the Exchange organization)
Unified Messaging server role(A set of components and services that enable voice, fax, and e-mail messages to be stored in a user's single mailbox. Users can also access their Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 mailbox from a telephone or a computer)
Mailbox server role(An Exchange Server 2007 server role that provides e-mail storage and advanced scheduling services for Microsoft Office Outlook users. The Mailbox server role also includes public folders, which provide a foundation for workflow, document sharing, and other forms of collaboration)
abstract server definition(The abstract type of an application server, which defines common characteristics of a class of logical application servers including the set of supported abstract endpoint definitions)
