Synopsis

Many organizations and network administrators are looking for information on Windows 2000 and its new features. IT professionals responsible for installing, configuring and managing Microsoft products will be highly motivated to migrate to this new technology, based on its promise of reducing administrative overhead. Microsoft Windows 2000 Server (the predecessor to Windows NT 4 Server) integrates network services for companies and administrators to set up and manage networks, remote access and extranets, as well as to manage other communications. Managing Windows 2000 Network Services will be the first book to focus exclusively on networking and integrated voice, video, and data on networks. Readers will learn how to deploy and integrate all Windows 2000 networking technologies within an enterprise network.

About this title

Review:

Another in the series of exceptionally focused Windows 2000 books, Managing Windows 2000 Network Services takes aim at the operating system's considerable capacity to communicate with other computers across networks of various sizes and purposes. The authors of this book--a slate of highly decorated Microsoft-certified experts--pick apart the Windows 2000 networking facilities, explaining clearly how each functions.

When discussing a network service and its administration features, the authors typically combine procedures with plenty of background information (including some very high-quality conceptual diagrams). This approach allows you to complete common tasks quickly and straighten out unusual situations. You should definitely read the helpful question-and-answer sections at the end of each chapter.

A rather large typeface and a lie-flat binding make it easy to consult this book while seated at a console, with both hands occupied. Though it lacks sample tests and other features you'd normally find in a study aid, this book should prove itself of great assistance in preparing for the Implementing and Administering a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure (70-216) and Designing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure (70-221) exams, among others. The more you know about networking for the certification exams, the better you'll do. --David Wall

Topics covered: Windows 2000 networking as it differs from earlier versions of Windows networking. Windows 2000's implementation of TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, WINS, and virtual private network (VPN) technologies (including IPSec). Routing coverage is excellent, as is the information on effectively managing Windows 2000 networks.
