If you're a system administrator or an architect, a field technician or a help desk administrator, you need answers to four key questions about Windows 2000 Server technology: How is each major feature designed? How does it work in production? How does it work in production? What happens when it breaks, how do I fix it? Inside Windows 2000 Server answer those questions. Author William Boswell specializes in system and network administration for large-scale Windows NT/2000 networking environments. He has an in-depth understanding of the types of network problems that can arise and calls on his expertise to create a variety of common and not-so-common Windows 2000 problems. In an efficient, task-based format, Boswell provides strategies and specific procedures for installing, configuring, deploying and managing Windows 2000 servers and workstations in diverse enterprise networks.
