I have to ask, why are you trying to play a DVD on a server? The graphics card on a server is average at best (it doesn't need to be powerful), plus 'real' servers don't have sound cards either.

 

Windows Media Player won't play a DVD automatically. You could try VLC or a proper decoder like PowerDVD. Using a desktop OS like Windows 7 would be more appropriate for playing DVDs.
