Windows Server is a brand of server operating system developed by Microsoft Corporation that supports enterprise level management, data storage, applications and communications. Windows Server acts as a server or data center which plays a role in managing the server network.

Then the thing we set is a network that functions to connect the server to the client computer/laptop. First we install a Windows Server OS on VMware.

Here's how to install Windows Server via WMware:
