I was working on server side stuff back then and IIS was never dominant - it was more a hodge-podge of various solutions including stuff like Sun's proprietary stuff on top of SunOS, and indeed IIS was also in the mix though at least in my experience it never really overtook the Unix-based solutions.
But yeah, Apache with Linux came out and took pretty much the whole webservers and web-services market pretty fast, and Linux itself took over most of the broader server-side market (so, stuff beyond serving web-pages or REST interfaces).
Windows NT had a bit of a moment before that, but it didn't grew all that big on the server side because of competing Unix solutions back then (SunOS, IBM AIX and so on) and then Linux came and pretty much crushed NT server-side for anything but serving Microsoft-ecosystem-specific stuff (such as services supporting single sign-on for Windows).
