I'd like to find out what "Windows Authentication details" for a server means.

Is it something every server running a Microsoft OS has? Like something that can be checked at a specific location, say 'Computer properties'; or does the server need to have some specific software, say IIS to have the authentication details?

"Windows Authentication details" is not an official Microsoft term. Usually when people are using it, they mean the username and password that are required to log onto a Windows OS. These are the 'details' needed to authenticate against a Windows OS, that's all.
