- 4. The network interface, network protocol, and network client and server software working together on a Windows computer.
- 6. A Windows server that isn’t a domain controller or a member of a domain.
- 9. A group of Windows computers that share common management and are subject to rules and policies that an administrator defines.
- 11. A small collection of Windows computers whose users typically have something in common, such as the need to share files or printers with each other. No computer has authority or control over another. Logons, security, and resource sharing are decentralized.
- 16. The ability to run a virtual machine on a virtual machine.
- 18. A command-line interactive scripting environment that provides the commands needed for most management tasks in a Windows Server 2016 environment.
- 19. The operating system running in a virtual machine installed on a host computer. See virtual machine (VM).
- 20. A method for creating virtual disks whereby the virtual disk expands dynamically and uses space from the storage pool as needed until it reaches the specified maximum size.
- 21. A collection of technologies for abstracting the details of how applications, storage, network, and other computing resources are delivered to users.
- 23. A temporary storage location that holds values, whether numeric, strings, or objects.
- 26. A major function or service that a server performs.
- 27. A technology that uses software to emulate multiple hardware environments, allowing multiple operating systems to run on the same physical server simultaneously.
- 28. The Windows directory service that enables administrators to create and manage users and groups, set networkwide user and computer policies, manage security, and organize network resources.
- 30. The network interface card and the device driver software working together.
- 31. Components you can install that provide functions to enhance or support an installed role or add a standalone feature.
- 32. A cloud computing service provided by a company’s internal IT department. See cloud computing.
Down
- 1. A server that provides processing, storage, networking, and memory resources needed to run an application, usually as a virtual machine and often as a cluster member.
- 2. An input to a command or PowerShell cmdlet.
- 3. OS designed to emphasize network access performance and run background processes rather than desktop applications.
- 4. The part of the OS that receives requests for shared network resources and makes these resources available to a network client.
- 5. Software that specifies the rules and format of communication between devices on a network.
- 7. The software for creating and managing virtual machines and creating the virtual environment in which a guest OS is installed.
- 8. A sector of private cloud computing whereby users access their desktops through a private cloud; the OS and applications run on servers in a corporate data center rather than on the local computer.
- 10. The virtual environment that emulates a physical computer’s hardware and BIOS.
- 12. The physical computer on which virtualization software is installed and virtual machines run.
- 13. A Windows server that’s in the management scope of a Windows domain but doesn’t have Active Directory installed.
- 14. Services that can be installed in Server Manager to add functions to the main role.
- 15. The part of the OS that sends requests to a server to access network resources.
- 17. A Windows server that has Active Directory installed and is responsible for allowing client computers to access domain resources.
- 22. OS designed to emphasize network access performance and run background processes rather than desktop applications.
- 24. The virtualization software component that creates and monitors the virtual hardware environment, which allows multiple virtual machines to share physical hardware resources.
- 25. A cloud computing service provided by a third party. See cloud computing.
- 29. A file system used on Windows OSs that supports compression, encryption, and file and folder permissions.
