RE: What is the difference between a domain controller...

Domain controllers are typically referred as DC. Domain controller is a server based on MS windows or Windows NT which is responsible for allowing host access to domain resources. Domain controller is the spot light for Active directory i.e if someone sayd my DC name is xyz.com that means AD has been configured on that machine to gain access to windows network resources. Advantage configuring AD results in central administration of different users authentication applying security policies and so on.

AS we know now DC and AD are equally important to share and host network resouces but we also have something known as member servers.

Member servers are servers running within a domain. Member sever runs an operating system which belongs to a domain and is not a DC. Member server typically run different serices on the machine can act like a file server web server application server print server.
