Synopsis

Most modern corporations have UNIX systems for handling heavy-duty applications, with the rival Microsoft product, NT, only gaining ground in the last two years. With the introduction of Windows 2000, however, it is likely that companies who recognise the value of this new product will not wish to waste their investment in UNIX systems, and will instead integrate the two where applicable. Accordingly, network and IT managers need to learn how to incorporate Windows 2000 into their existing UNIX systems. This manual provides the tools and techniques needed to run successful applications by making best use of the two systems. To give the book a practical focus, the authors approach Windows 2000 from a UNIX systems administrator's perspective. The coverage is expanded to include features and benefits of both Windows 2000 and NT 4.0 systems, with reference to: step-by-step planning methodology for integration; network protocol and configuration; remote access services and virtual private networks; security management; and commercial integration packages.
