When time is of the essence, Windows Server 2008 administrators can turn to this book first, to get reliable, easy-to-implement solutions they can trust -- and use immediately. Windows Server 2008 How-To brings together tested, stepby- step procedures for every facet of Windows Server 2008 planning, deployment, configuration, security, and day-to-day administration. Completely up-to-date, it fully reflects the major enhancements built into Windows Server 2008 - including Hyper-V virtualization, Server Core, major Terminal Services improvements, and hundreds of additional changes that make older Windows server administration guides completely obsolete. J. Peter Bruzzese and two other Windows Server experts walk working administrators through nearly 200 tasks, with clear and accurate steps for each one, and diagrams wherever needed. Among the many topics covered in depth: installation; Server Core configuration and management; utilizing the new Server Manager to administer and secure diverse server roles; configuring DHCP, DNS, and other server roles and features; running IIS 7.0; managing the latest version of Active Directory; utilizing group policy; monitoring performance; server troubleshooting, and much more. These three experts have written a book that will go far beyond 'tips and tricks' to serve as the daily reference resource for every Windows Server 2008 administrator operating in a production environment.
