all of the major components, along with discussions on complex
concepts such as Active Directory replication, DFS namespaces and
replication, network access protection, the Server Core edition,
Windows PowerShell, server clustering, and more. All of this with a
more compact presentation and a tighter focus on tasks than you'll
find in bulkier references. "Windows Server 2008: The Definitive

Windows NT, or discussions on the way things used to work. Instead,
you get only the information you need to use this server. If you're
a beginning or intermediate system administrator, you learn how the
system works, and how to administer machines running it. The expert
administrators among you discover new concepts and components
outside of your realm of expertise. Simply put, this is the most
thorough reference available for Windows Server 2008, with complete
guides to: installing the server in a variety of different
environments; file services and the Windows permission structure;
how the domain name system (DNS) works; active directory, including
its logical and physical structure, hierarchical components,
scalability, and replication; group policy's structure and
operation; managing security policy with predefined templates and
customized policy plans; and architectural improvements, new
features, and daily administration of IIS 7.Its other features

command-line technology. With "Windows Server 2008: The Definitive
Guide", you can come away with a firm understanding of what's
happening under the hood, but without the sense that you're taking
a graduate course in OS theory. If you intend to work with this
server, this is the only book you need.
