Book Description

ISBN-10: 0735606242 | ISBN-13: 978-0735606241 | Publication Date: February 12, 2000 | Edition: 1

Windows 2000 Server delivers a hierarchical, extensible, standards-based directory service known as Active Directory. It enables users to store, find, or update data about objects such as users, files, applications or printers in one central location, instead of in multiple directories across the network. "Active Directory Services for Microsoft Windows 2000 Technical Reference" is the Active Directory bible for the enterprise IT department. It covers the how and the why of this powerful new directory system, and includes hands-on design and deployment information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, detailed, and comprehensive, February 21, 2000

Jerry (Washington) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Active Directory(TM) Services for Microsoft Windows 2000 Technical Reference (Microsoft Technical Reference) (Hardcover)

This book explains Active Directory in its entirety - and includes a quick but useful overview of how/why Active Directory is such a big deal... which helps you understand the big picture. The book quickly dives into detail about the things you need to know about Active Directory - like Active Directory architecture, DNS details, domain plainning, kerberos security, upgrading from NT4, the schema, and migration... and others. On top of that, the book is an easy read, because the author writes so that it's actually enjoyable. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the Facts....but very Juicy!, February 7, 2000

Cameron (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Active Directory(TM) Services for Microsoft Windows 2000 Technical Reference (Microsoft Technical Reference) (Hardcover)

No matter your role on an Active Directory deployment team, this is a perfect guide to give you the background info you need, as well as the steps you need to take make your job easier. The author explains concepts easily, and makes you laugh while you learn! After you've read about Win2000 Architecture, DNS, and Security, it will be a breeze to follow along in the Deployment part of the book. Every chapter flows into the next logical chapter, for easier understanding that produces increased confidence and peace-of-mind!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Great, August 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Active Directory(TM) Services for Microsoft Windows 2000 Technical Reference (Microsoft Technical Reference) (Hardcover)

I was an NT 4 Admin for a major Fortune 100 firm and was looking for a better AD book. This was it! Mr. Iseminger broke down some fuzzy relations including DNS, 2000 domain controllers, schemas, and directory services...He also wrote it from NT 4 admins perspective and broke down the issues w/ the domain model and the need for the scalable AD environment...I've always been a Mark Minasi (author) fan but I'll be watching for more books by Isminger in the future!
