Server Manager (previously known as Configure Your Server and Manage Your Server) is a server administration application included in server releases of Windows from Windows 2000 onwards. It provides a user interface that is geared towards modifying certain aspects of a server, such as the installation and configuration of roles and features which include but are not limited to Active Directory, DNS, guest virtualization, website hosting, and storage services. The application is automatically set to run by default on startup.

A reduced-functionality version of the Server Manager referred to as the Server Configuration Utility is also present in Server Core editions, and offers options for product updates, domain join, Remote Desktop Services and basic network configuration. Role and feature configuration in Server Core editions is primarily handled through the PowerShell command-line interpreter.

The Server Manager can also be installed on client versions of Windows as a Feature on Demand^[a] for use with remote server management.
