Windows server 2012 is the server edition of the Windows 8 operating system released by Microsoft and is the sixth version of the server operating system from Microsoft. The new server edition as opposed to its predecessors has no support for Itanium based processors. If you have Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8 installed and you have worked with it, you might notice that it is difficult to work with the operating system when compared with other versions.

Even if you press the ALT, CTRL and END buttons, you will not be able to find the usually found buttons for Sleep, Shutdown and Restart required to shutdown, sleep or restart Windows 8. The only option available now is to disconnect the computer.
