Dynamic Source Configuration (DSC) is a feature in Windows that helps maintain consistent and reliable server configurations by allowing administrators to define and enforce configuration settings across multiple servers. DSC uses configuration scripts to specify how servers should be set up and automatically applies these settings to ensure consistency and reliability.

I do not understand the last portion of your question. I am hoping that you have a dedicated Windows System Administrator to setup this network for you, AND and that servers will be local within this network. If the servers will be scattered geologically please note there might be firewall issues, you will need to change this on the appropriate network hardware. First start by creating the domain, you will be able to do this within active directory, the change the servers to the domain via Computer > Properties > Computer Name, you will need to make a computer placeholder within active directory for each additional computer/user you add tot he domain. Please reply back with questions and clarification on your question, we will be able to assist you further. Thank you! Shaun B. Nuphonicblue at Gmail
So that incompetent admins can't populate the internet with servers that become hijacked in 10 minutes and send tons of spam email.
Closeout servers are shared servers, thus they have less available resources for each user. Closeout servers would only allow the customer to host some less demanding applications, such as a website, whereas a Windows Dedicated Server would allow the person to host anything from Voice over IP channels to game servers.

in Active Directory server roles, computers that function as servers within a domain can have one of two roles: member server or domain controller. A member server is a computer that runs an operating system in the Windows 2000 Server family or the Windows Server 2003 family, belongs to a domain, and is not a domain controller. Member servers typically function as the following types of servers: file servers, application servers, database servers, Web servers, certificate servers, firewalls and remote-access servers.
