This book is a comprehensive guide to understanding, designing, configuring and troubleshooting MS Active Directory for the Windows 2000 network operating system. Active Directory is arguably the most important feature of Windows 2000 Server, and this book shows network administrators how to prepare, install, maintain and test Microsoft's new directory service.
The book has been written for experienced network administrators who are unfamiliar with hierarchical, scalable directory structures and includes extensive coverage of subnetting, replication, naming conventions, extranets and security. The authors also show how to deploy Active directory in a mixed networking environment, with Windows 2000 running alongside Windows 95/98 and/or NetWare and/or Unix.
