Servers on the network that serve special roles such as DNS, Exchange or SQL servers are subject to special rules and circumstances that workstations and file servers are not subject to. Putting them into normal patch schedules can cause patching for the rest of your network to be too restrictive, or can cause the servers to be unavailable during vital times. Labeling them by server role instead of OS will allow you to make special patching schedules that can be run separately and customized for network needs.
