Complete Windows Server 2012 Practice Test 2025

When running Server Manager from a Windows 8 workstation, the Local Server home page does not appear by default. Instead, what you see is a typical view that includes various sections like the Roles and Features section, Server Overview information, and access to Event Viewer.

The Local Server home page specifically focuses on the services and roles of the server that is being managed, which belongs to the context of a remote server rather than the local workstation itself. Since the management console launches with a focus on managing multiple servers and their respective roles and features, the details of the Local Server would be made available only when explicitly selecting to connect to it.

Access to roles, features, and even the Event Viewer reflects the functional aspect of managing Windows Server environments, which aligns with the console's capabilities. Therefore, the absence of the Local Server home page at the initial launch reinforces the emphasis on interaction with remote servers rather than the host itself.
