By their very nature, most of these questions specifically involve a business environment and therefore do not belong on Super User, since both the help center and tour state that "issues specific to corporate IT support and networks" are off topic here.

I've already rewritten the tag wiki excerpts for the various Windows Server versions:

windows-server windows-server-2003 windows-server-2008 windows-server-2008-r2 windows-server-2012 windows-server-2012-r2 windows-server-2016

All of these tag wiki excerpts now contain the following text (changed to conform to "https://meta.superuser.com/questions/4090/questions-about-small-business-environments-on-topic" and per Hennes's answer):
