Manuscript Reviewers' Comments
Jeff Dunkelberger: "Author has an excellent technical grasp. The
material is clearly accurate and prepared with great care. The text is
also well thought out, and flows well."
Erik Olson ,
about Chapter 3: "The figures and tables were really
strong here."
Keith Walls ,
about Chapter 4: "This chapter certainly serves to
eliminate any doubt as to the technical competence and mastery of the
authors."
Jeff Dunkelberger ,
about Chapter 5: "...was VERY enjoyable to read and
clearly described and explained."
Keith Walls ,
about Chapter 5: "Some of the more difficult ideas are
defined and explained exceptionally well. The authors' skill in explaining
the non-obvious is very clear. It's a pleasure to be "walked" through
something very complex and come out the other side with a very complete
and logically-based understanding of the ideas." 
Back Cover
Detailed and thorough, this administrator's guide provides practical
strategies for managing Active Directory, the cornerstone technology
within Windows 2000 distributed networks. This book covers design,
architecture, topology, deployment, and management issues, and provides
thorough instructions for efficiently administering the entire network
operating environment.
Inside Active Directory: A System Administrator's Guide
begins with an overview and covers Active Directory's core features before
moving on to document more advanced, specialized skills. This book
provides a solid understanding of Active Directory fundamentals,
demonstrating how it is used to store and access data, and how it uses
industry standards, such as LDAP and other directory protocols. Numerous
diagrams and tables appear throughout the book to help readers better
comprehend the sometimes-complex technologies involved in migrating to
Windows 2000 from Windows NT or other platforms.
This practical guide documents Active Directory extensively, with
detailed coverage of the following:
 |
The big picture - background, building
blocks, hierarchies, DNS integration, security, architecture, and other
features. |
 |
How to efficiently install Active Directory,
and how to automate and troubleshoot the process. |
 |
Planning and management of OUs, users, and
groups. |
 |
Security features, including permission
architecture and management, as well as permission usage scenarios. |
 |
Sites and replication - concepts, planning,
management, topologies, processes, and diagnostics. |
 |
How to plan and manage domains and forests,
and how to perform various LDAP searches. |
 |
Group Policy features, including
architecture, planning, management, and diagnostics. |
 |
A detailed drill-down to the schema, and
practical strategies and examples for extending it. |
 |
Administration scripts - from concepts and
basic techniques to advanced script management of Active Directory,
including more than fifty sample scripts.
|
Anyone working with Active Directory will find this book indispensable.
Readers new to Windows network administration will gain a solid grasp of
the fundamentals. Administrators experienced in NT, UNIX, Netware, and
other systems will learn how to adapt their skills to Active Directory.
Experienced Windows 2000 professionals will pick up advanced techniques,
and developers will benefit from the architectural explanations.
Inside Active Directory is the most practical and
comprehensive resource available for planning, implementing, and managing
an Active Directory network.
