PublisherHow to Use This Book
To see how useful this book can be, check out the next few sections.
Part I: Transitioning
The first part of this book includes two chapters designed to help
ease the pain of NT and W2K administrators as you transition to the
new WS2003 platform.Chapter 1, NT
2003 , is aimed mainly at NT admins and
highlights important differences between administering NT and WS2003.
The first part of the chapter lists the WS2003 counterparts to NT
administrative tools, utilities, and commands. The rest of the
chapter describes new features and provides various tips to help make
the transition easier.Chapter 2, 2000
2003 , targets W2K admins and highlights
differences between W2K and WS2003. The chapter begins by describing
significant changes to administrative tools, utilities, and the GUI.
It concludes by summarizing the new features and enhancements that
make WS2003 a more secure, powerful, and manageable platform than
W2K.Although Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 are intended for different audiences, I
highly recommend that both NT and W2K admins read both chapters to
get the most comprehensive view of the changes and enhancements in
the new platform.
Part II: Alphabetical Reference
The second part is the meat of the book. It consists of three
reference chapters whose topics are arranged in alphabetical order.Chapter 3, Task Map , lists
more than 600 different administrative tasks organized under more
than a hundred different headings. Most entries provide task-oriented
references to topics in Chapter 4 or commands in
Chapter 5 where you can find detailed information.
The remaining entries either outline the steps for performing the
task or describe a Group Policy setting relating to its
administration. Think of Chapter 3 mainly as a
quick entry point for the reference material in later chapters, with
some extra goodies thrown in for good measure.Chapter 4, GUI Reference ,
covers the concepts, tools, and tasks for administering WS2003 from
the GUI. The chapter is divided into broad topic areas ranging from
Active Directory to WINS and, together with Chapter 5, forms the core of this book. You can either
browse a topic in this chapter to learn more about its administration
or look up a specific task in it using the Task Map in Chapter 3 or the Index.Chapter 5, Command Reference ,
lists more than a hundred different commands and scripts that can be
used to administer various aspects of WS2003 from the command line.
Almost a third of these commands are new to WS2003. For each command,
the syntax is presented together with examples, notes, and
cross-references to topics in Chapter 4. The
enhancements to commands in WS2003 mean that Windows now rivals Unix
in the ability to manage the platform from the command line.
Part III: Resources
An appendix and an acronym list round out the book.Appendix A, lists some web
sites that those administering WS2003 may find useful.Glossary, helps you
navigate the acronym maze for WS2003 from ACL to WPA.
