5.0 out of 5 starsGreat recource on how PKI can protect your network.
By Steven L. Umbach on January 13, 2005
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The Windows Server 2003 PKI and Certificate Security book will demystify PKI and certificate based security implementations for you. It will be very helpful to anyone who wants to learn what PKI can do for them or needs to know the specifics of how to implement it in their network for many uses from large networks to the small office. For many the thought of PKI, intimidates them. It should not as it really is not that difficult and can improve your security tremendously over traditional password based authentication and allow use of strong encryption and digital signing [proof of entity and integrity]. PKI is used to generate public and private keypairs for use in applications such as L2TP VPN, IPSEC, 802.1X authentication for wireless and wired networks, EFS file encryption, application signing, secure email encryption and signing, SSL website security, and smart cards.

The book starts out with the basic concepts of PKI and the use of symmetric and asymmetric encrytpion and how they work together in PKI. It also explains digital signiatures - the other big use for certificates/private keys. It is written to be very understandable and the user or admin that has little understanding of PKI should have no problem learing the content and implemeting it. It does assume a basic understanding of Active Directory for Enterprise Certificate Authority use and also covers stand alone Certificate Authority. The book is also written so that you can refer to indivudual chapters such as the excellent chapter on how to implement 802.1X wireless if you do not need to know other material covered.

PKI hierarchy is well covered whether you need to install a single CA, levels of CA's in your network, or even how to setup cross trusts to other CA hierarchies for full trust or conditional trust.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsGood reference for any Windows administrator or planner
By James L. Zhang on March 23, 2006
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The 2003 performance guide was probably one book that's worth the price of this entire package. Mark Friedman, the author of Windows 2000 Performance Guide, wrote this book for resource kit. That explained why he never published a follow-up of his famous 2000 performance book. The other books in the kit were also extremely helpful. This is THE set of reference book to get for authoritative Windows 2003 information. Also included is a disc with all the ebook versions of everything, including some bonus books not in the resource kit. So stop Googling for unreliable second hand information, and get your stingy boss to cough up the money for this must have tool.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe best resource that I recommend
By Roath Kanel on July 2, 2005
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is the best book that ever have from Microsoft press. If you are the network administrator, I recommend you to have this book in order to manage your work at the workplace. I just get this book a week ago and just start to read it and I found it is very good of explaination and have a good tool to use on the CDROM. My favorite book is the group policy guid, registry guide and automation tool kit. The other book is good too. The CDROM is package with everything that you need to learn from the book. One thing that I don't like is an e-book on the CDROM is made in PDF. I prefer to use it with the CHM file which is easy for me to browse and print. This point Microsoft press should be change in order to access the book on the CDROM

5.0 out of 5 starsA Critical Resource
By Michael Meacham on September 2, 2005
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This set provides the "missing" instruction book for Server 2003. It is full of helps, hints, and workarounds, written by experts. I cannot imagine trying to maintain a Server 2003 network of any size without these books on your shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars7 Individual Books ++
By John Matlock on July 20, 2005
Format: Paperback
This bundled set of books contains just about everything it is possible to know about Windows Server 2003. Well, maybe not everything, but everything you can include in four thousand six hundred and fifty pages, yes, 4650 pages.

In one slipcase, there are eight separate Microsoft manuals:

Windows Internals (4th Edition)

Windows Group Policy guide

Windows Security Resource Kit (2nd Edition)

Windows Server 2003 Performance Guide

Windows Server 2003 Troubleshooting Guide

Windows Registry Guide (2nd Edition)

Windows Administrator's Automation Toolkit

Windows Server 2003 Tools and Digital Resources (on CD)

The CD contains more material than the rest of the books put together including (guaranteed to be true as it contains all of the manuals just listed in eBook form),

More than 300 esential tools and utilities,

And collections of Technical References on:

Active Director

Core Operating System

Group Policy

High Availability and Scalability

Networking Collection

Storage Technologies

Windows Security

It would be pointless to talk about the contents of each book here as they are already described under their individual titles. What you get in the bundle is: lower price than when purchased individually, extra material on the CD, and a cardboard slipcase to keep them in.

5.0 out of 5 starsEmpowering, Clear, and Consise
By TheRealDarknerd on January 26, 2006
Format: Paperback
I have to say that this book is simply amazing. I have searched the longest to clearly understand not just about PKI, but actually how to implement it, and was always referred to tombs of mathematical theory and such. This book demystifies PKI infrastructure in clear and concise explanations (but not overkill though), and has a lot of material on how to practically implement a variety of PKI architectures that can fit small businesses to huge enterprise corporations.

Implementing this stuff involves more than simple button clicking. What I really appreciate is that there are really delves into pre-installation configuration (CAPolicy.inf) and also post installation (publishing AIA/CDP to Active Directory either through command line or graphical snap-in). I've looked at other security books that touch on this topic, but they are either/both incomplete or sometimes in areas incorrect. This help set me straight.

The bottom line is that this is indeed the best book on this topic of implementing PKI infrastructure (certificate authorities, etc.) within Windows environment.
