Depends on what you call a "server". Newer MS desktop OS's run the same
kernel as server OS's, so nmap OS fingerprinting probably won't tell you
much. I consider a "server" to be a machine running some service normally
not found on a desktop, and normally a tcp port is associated with this
service. I would scan the network for ports commonly used by windows
servers: IIS (http), exchange (smtp), sql server, oracle, terminal
services, domain controller/file/print. File/print maybe the trickiest to
find.

Try using nmap version detection -sV for some extra hints. Use -oG to
make the logfile easily greppable. Try -oS also, haha.
