Fitur

• Active Directory Federation Services: memungkinkan untuk mengkonfigurasi AD FS untuk mengotentikasi pengguna yang disimpan di direktori non-AD, seperti direktori X.500 compliant Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) dan basis data SQL
• Windows Defender: Windows Server Antimalware telah diinstal dan diaktifkan secara default tanpa GUI, yang merupakan fitur Windows yang dapat diinstal.
• Remote Desktop Services: dukungan untuk OpenGL 4.4 and OpenCL 1.1, penyempurnaan kinerja dan stabilitas; peranan MultiPoint Services (lihat Windows MultiPoint Server)
• Storage Services: Storage QoS Policies yang terpusat; Storage Replica (penyimpanan-agnostik, tingkat-blok, berbasis volume, replikasi sinkron dan asynchronous menggunakan SMB3 antara peladen untuk pemulihan bencana). Storage Replica mereplikasi blok bukan berkas; berkas dapat digunakan. Ini bukan multi-master, tidak satu-ke-banyak dan tidak transitif. Ini mereplikasi snapshot secara berkala, dan arah replikasi dapat diubah.
• Failover Clustering: peningkatan bergulir klaster sistem operasi, Storage Replicas
• Web Application Proxy: pra-otentikasi untuk penerbitan aplikasi HTTP Basic, penerbitan aplikasi domain wildcard, pengalihan HTTP ke HTTPS, Perbanyakan alamat IP klien untuk aplikasi backend
• IIS 10: Dukungan untuk HTTP/2
• Windows PowerShell 5.0
• Soft Restart, sebuah fitur Windows untuk mempercepat proses pengebutan dengan melewati inisialisasi perangkat keras, dan hanya mengatur ulang perangkat lunak.

  • DNS Server: kebijakan DNS, jenis catatan DDS baru (TLSA, SPF, dan catatan tak dikenal), perintah dan parameter PowerShell baru
• Windows Server Gateway sekarang mendukung Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels
• Manajemen alamat IP (IPAM): dukungan untuk subnet /31, /32, dan /128; penemuan berbasis berkas, peladen DNS domain-bergabung; fungsi DNS baru; integrasi yang lebih baik untuk DNS, DHCP, dan Manajemen Alamat IP (DDI)
• Network Controller, peran server baru untuk mengkonfigurasi, mengelola, memantau, dan memecahkan masalah perangkat jaringan maya dan fisik dan jasa di datacenter
• Hyper-V Network Virtualization: programmable Hyper-V switch (a new building block of Microsoft’s Software-defined networking solution); VXLAN encapsulation support; Microsoft Software Load Balancer interoperability; better IEEE Ethernet standard compliancy

New Hyper-V Features

• Rolling Hyper-V cluster update: unlike upgrading clusters from Windows 2008 R2 to 2012 level, Windows Server Technical Preview cluster nodes can be added to a Hyper-V Cluster with nodes running Windows Server 2012 R2. The cluster continues to function at a Windows Server 2012 R2 feature level until all of the nodes in the cluster have been upgraded and the cluster functional level has been upgraded.
• Storage quality of service (QoS) to centrally monitor end-to-end storage performance and create policies using Hyper-V and Scale-Out File Servers
• New, more efficient binary virtual machine configuration format (.VMCX extension for virtual machine configuration data and the .VMRS extension for runtime state data)
• Production checkpoints
• Hyper-V Manager: alternate credentials support, down-level management, WS-Management protocol
• Integration services for Windows guests distributed through Windows Update
• Hot add and remove for network adapters (for generation 2 virtual machines) and memory (for generation 1 and generation 2 virtual machines)
• Linux secure boot
• Connected Standby compatibility

Nano Server

Microsoft announced a new installation option, codenamed Nano Server, a minimal footprint installation option of Windows Server, optimized for Windows Server Containers and Hyper-V Containers, as well as other cloud-optimized scenarios. According to the announcement, Microsoft removed the GUI stack, 32-bit support (WoW64), MSI and a number of default Server Core components. There is no local logon or Remote Desktop support. All management is performed remotely via WMI and PowerShell. Based on builds current at the time of the announcement (April 2015), Nano Server had 93 percent lower VHD size, 92 percent fewer critical bulletins, and 80 percent fewer reboots than Windows Server.

Development

Microsoft has been reorganized by Satya Nadella, putting the Server and System Center teams together (previously, the Server team was more closely aligned with the Windows client team). The Azure team is also working closely with the Server team in an internal open source model.
