About this title

Review

Windows 2000 Server Architecture and Planning provides the best documentation to date of Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows 2000 Datacenter Server. Basing his work on late, feature-complete beta versions, Morten Strunge Nielsen has compiled a thorough picture of how these products will fit into new and existing Microsoft-based networks.

Covered topics include all aspects of Active Directory planning and implementation, as well as domain trees and forests. Further, the author devotes space to designing systems around Organisational Units (OUs), Group Policies, Domain Controllers, Global Catalogue Servers and Dynamic Domain Name Service(DDNS).

Nielsen generally steers clear of explicit how-to information, though there's some of that in the Active Directory sections. Instead, most of this book explains the functional elements of Windows 2000 at a medium to high level with lots of lucid prose and a wealth of conceptual diagrams. It's exactly the kind of thing you need as you plan a new implementation or an upgrade. The author goes heavy on definitions, providing many side bars that explain the terminology Microsoft has attached to various pieces of its new technology. Helpfully, the index pinpoints these definitions, so it's easy to turn right to the explanation you need.--David Wall,amazon.com

Topics covered: Active Directory planning and implementation, domain trees and forests, and designing systems.
