This book focuses on the design of a Windows 2000 environment, and how to develop an effective design and migration plan. You are lead through the process of developing a design plan by reviewing each pertinent issue, and provides expert advice on how to evaluate each issue as it applies to the your particular environment. Practical examples illustrate all these issues. The book begins with detailed coverage of how to evaluate the current network environment - what issues need to be considered, and how to evaluate those issues. Next, the process of developing a migration plan is explored. The book then examines how to develop a Windows 2000 environment, sharing the insight gained by actual deployments from RDP members. Next, the book discusses how to evaluate both the migration and development plans, making sure that all potential pitfalls have been avoided. It closes with a discussion of the future of Active Directory.

Praise For Windows 2000 Active Directory Design and Deployment

Reviews: Windows 2000 Active Directory Design and Deployment

"...a brief read through it shows it to be very thoroughly researched and presented. I especially like the Business advantage sidebars. As a W2K instructor, I find students always hit me with technical questions, but often don't look at the business reasons for a technology. This book goes a long way to increasing awareness of that side of the house."

Dave Riches, Extreme Logic
