Oreilly Learning Windows Server 2003 Dec 2004 eBook

With Windows Server 2003, Microsoft has the right server for a world
now dominated by enterprise networks and web-based server
applications. A number of significant improvements make this a more
reliable server than Windows 2000, and those who switched have seen
notable performance gains. Server 2003 is, in fact, a very competitive
solution to Unix in terms of cost, performance, and application
development productivity. But getting this server up and running,
either as a stand-alone or as part of a multi-site, multi-server
network, is a formidable task even for the most experienced system
administrators. Our no-fluff guide gives you exactly what you need:
all the nuts and bolts for installing, configuring, securing, and
managing Server 2003. This focused and practical book clearly
documents the complexities of this server, and offers hands-on advice
for planning, implementing and growing Windows networks without trying
to teach you how to be a system administrator. Learning Windows
Server 2003 shows you how to create and manage user accounts (with
particular attention to Active Directory), how to manage access to
system resources such as printers and files, and how to configure and
manage the server s plethora of major subsystems. The book goes into
considerable detail about:

--Windows file and print services

--Active Directory

--IIS6 web server

--Group Policy and other security tools

--Patch management

--.NET Framework application server

--Windows Terminal Services (including their use in conjunction with
Microsoft Office and the Small Business Edition)

--Various networking subsystems that ship with Server 2003This
highly instructive book also provides an introduction to clustering
services, and thoroughly documents steps that should be taken to
ensure the security of the server and its resources. Windows Server
2003 was designed to meet the needs of companies or organizations that
rely on one or more internal computer networks, and our comprehensive
reference is the ideal companion.
