"This is a great book! It provides real-world knowledge that would otherwise take many years of experience to accumulate." --Tim Hill, Windows NT MVP and author of Windows NT Shell Scripting "Buy this book before the Microsoft tech support people buy them all up!" --Mark Minasi, author of the best-selling Mastering Windows NT Server 4 Windows NT is rapidly becoming the enterprise server and desktop operating system of choice. The highly anticipated Windows 2000 upgrade will enhance the current feature set, but it will also increase the complexity of working with this important operating system. Using The Windows NT and Windows 2000 Answer Book, administrators, developers, and users will be able to quickly and effectively find answers, solve problems, and get the best performance possible from Windows NT. John Savill offers answers to more than eight hundred common Windows NT and Windows 2000 questions, all carefully organized in an accessible format for quick reference. The Windows NT and Windows 2000 Answer Book is a significantly expanded and more detailed version of the author's highly regarded Windows NT FAQ (www.ntfaq.com), cited by Microsoft's On-Line Developer Network (MSDN) as the most comprehensive and current Web-based Windows NT resource of its kind.
This book addresses a broad range of topics, from the simple to the complex: installation, system and desktop configuration, the Registry, recovery and backups, network issues, Internet topics, e-mail, file systems, administration, security, hardware, and much more. The use of concrete explanations and real-world examples helps get you to the heart of what you need to know in order to install the system properly, configure it to serve the organization's needs, and keep it running smoothly. Readers will find solutions to such important questions as: *What is new in Windows 2000? *What is the Active Directory? *Can I change a PDC/BDC into a stand-alone server? *How do I create a DHCP Relay Agent? *How can I create a RAS Connection Script? *How do I connect my Exchange server to an SMTP server? These are just a few examples of the wealth of information you will discover in this invaluable resource. Whether you are looking for a specific answer or just browsing to gain insight and practical techniques, no enterprise system administrator, developer, or user working with Windows NT can afford to be without this book. 0201606364B04062001
