Then you are al little bit off my patch :-) Windows server 2003 and 2008 (and no doubt later) include an smtp server. It may need to be enabled or added (add/remove programs). You would have to study the documentation yourself. But the same principles will apply. Unless you are using an upstream relay, you need to have a proper fully qualified domain name and be sure not to accept incoming mail.
There are also a few opensource and freeware mtas available - google "windows mail mta". But I can not vouch for any of them so use at your own risk. If you are not using windows server edition then I really would strongly advise that you do not use this machine as an internet host. Can I ask (now that I know you are not using linux) where your requirement is coming from to host a local mailer? If it is just for dhis then you can connect it to an external smtp relay service. There are a few (google is your friend). Things like http://www.easy-smtp.com/ might meet your requirements - free for lewss than 10000 emails per month. Or mail chimp. Again I am not endorsing either of these. Just suggesting avenues to explore.
