Edition

For years, Novell was the leader in Directory Services (NDS). Microsoft's domain
model was difficult to manage. The arrival of Windows 2000 also brought Microsoft's
competitor with Active Directory. This was an entire new way for network objects
to be created and maintained. As the years have gone by, other Microsoft server
products have taken advanced of AD and allow for much larger and more complex
networks.
Microsoft® Windows® 2000
Administrator's Pocket Consultant, Second Edition by William R. Stanek
is published by Microsoft
Press so you can trust that they know what they are talking about.
This book is not for beginners. A home user with Windows 2000 Professional installed
won't find much value in the book. This book
is aimed at professionals who are looking for information on various parts of
Windows 2000 Server. The book does not have a step-by-step guide to setting up
Active
Directory, DNS, WINS, or any other
feature
of Windows
2000. It assumes that
these are setup already, and provides help in maintaining these
services. As you can see by the chapter
headings and the
index, there is a
lot of information about managing and maintaining these services.
The book is divided into 4 parts, each part having 4 or 5 chapters
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Administration Fundamentals
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Directory Service Administration
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Data Administration
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Administration
As is often the case with computer books, to highlight information in a
chapter, there are icons that draw your attention to Notes, Tips, Cautions,
More Info, Real World and Best Practices. Microsoft has Chapter
9:
Managing
Existing
User
and Group
Accounts
as a sample
chapter that you can read in its entirety on their site.
Microsoft® Windows® 2000
Administrator's Pocket Consultant, Second Edition can be purchased for
a list price of $29.99 US or $43.99 CDN. You can also find at
