Features: Windows Server 2003 far surpasses the upgraded Windows 2000. It provides many new and improved features, presenting you with exciting and daunting challenges. After thousands of hours of testing, evaluation, and experimentation with the capabilities that Windows Server 2003 can offer, this book is the final result of this series of efforts. It provides readers with almost everything about Windows Server 2003. The days when a single book could contain all the content of the Windows Server operating system or when a brief one-week training course at a training center could cover everything are gone forever. If we tell you that this is the only book you need about Windows Server 2003, that would be somewhat exaggerated. Many of the features discussed in this book guarantee advanced approaches in their respective sections. On the most important issues and the implications of the Windows Server 2003 platform, we provide a broad scope while also focusing on attention to detail, particularly for the Enterprise edition of Windows Server 2003. We strive to write the most comprehensive hands-on reference book possible. This book is written by a group of experts specializing in the maintenance of the Windows Server 2003 operating system. It covers the architecture, installation, configuration, preparation, and implementation of efficient Active Directory design, as well as the development and implementation of data backup and recovery issues, networking and communication services, and file and print services. By studying this book, you will be able to manage servers, users, groups, and network security using Active Directory, handle security issues related to encryption, certificates, and Kerberos, control network traffic and user activities, remotely monitor and control workstations on the network using Terminal Services, and leverage the powerful capabilities of Windows Server 2003 to integrate with legacy PCs. This book is suitable for system administrators, faculty and students of computer science at universities and colleges, and all users of Windows Server 2003.
