Description:
Microsoft Windows 2000 is set to assume its place as the software titan's flagship operating system, and you'd better be prepared. Migrating to Windows 2000 for Dummies describes what the new offering from Redmond can do, whether it's appropriate for you, and how to proceed if you decide to go ahead with deployment. Though it's written as a primer for organizational information systems specialists, it will benefit people who administer computers for small businesses as well as individual users.This book is most valuable as a decision-making aid, but it incorporates a considerable amount of procedural information that author Leonard Stearns tested against a near-final version of Windows 2000 Server. You'll find explicit procedures on installing and configuring Active Directory (AD), as well as Terminal Services and several security options. The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is discussed too. Simply put, this book is a fine introduction to Windows 2000 Server and its essential operations. --David Wall Topics covered: Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, as it applies to users of Windows NT 4 (and to a lesser degree Novell NetWare, Unix variants, and combinations of the three). An overview of what Windows 2000 Server can do, why you might want to install it, and how to get ready for the changeover, plus some of the procedural details of the operating system, particularly those having to do with Active Directory and Terminal Services.
