Active Directory 3rd Edition
Working with Microsoft's network directory service for the
first time can be a headache for system and network
administrators, IT professionals, technical project
managers, and programmers alike. This authoritative guide is
meant to relieve that pain. Instead of going through the
graphical user interface screen by screen, O'Reilly's
bestselling
Active Directory tells you how to design,
manage, and maintain a small, medium, or enterprise Active
Directory infrastructure.
Fully updated to cover Active Directory for Windows Server
2003 SP1 and R2, this third edition is full of important
updates and corrections. It's perfect for all Active
Directory administrators, whether you manage a single server
or a global multinational with thousands of servers.
Active Directory, 3rd Edition is divided into three parts.
Part I introduces much of how Active Directory works, giving
you a thorough grounding in its concepts. Some of the topics
include Active Directory replication, the schema,
application partitions, group policies, and interaction with
DNS. Part II details the issues around properly designing
the directory infrastructure. Topics include designing the
namespace, creating a site topology, designing group
policies for locking down client settings, auditing,
permissions, backup and recovery, and a look at Microsoft's
future direction with Directory Services. Part III covers
how to create and manipulate users, groups, printers, and
other objects that you may need in your everyday management
of Active Directory.
If you want a book that lays bare the design and management
of an enterprise or departmental Active Directory, then look
no further. Active Directory, 3rd Edition will quickly earn
its place among the books you don't want to be without.
