4.1 Read This First!
A few words are probably in order before you start wading through the
vast amount of material in this chapter. The topics in this chapter
are organized alphabetically according to major themes of Windows
Server 2003 (WS2003) administration. For example, if you want to find
out about Active Directory and how to manage it,
you'd begin by turning to Active
Directory . Each topic begins with a description of basic
concepts, followed by a description of the tools (if any) used to
administer the feature, instructions on how to perform common or
important administrative tasks, and notes providing extra insight on
the topic. Many of the longer topics in this chapter follow this
fourfold outline of concepts, tools, tasks, and notes, and knowing
this will help you find the information you are looking for more
quickly.
