Windows 2000 Server On Site is a one-stop resource for administrators and network professionals. It guides the reader through the entire project of implementing Windows 2000 Server on a network beginning with planning and installation, followed by deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting. Packed with tools, this book features planning worksheets, decision-making diagrams, checklists for hardware, software topology and rollout needs, decision trees and hundreds of screenshots. It includes a step-by-step guide for installation or migration, including decisions that must be made at certain junctures of the installation process. It also discusses setting up the Microsoft Management Console, creating and managing users and groups, printing services, and how to employ backups and restorations. Plus it includes troubleshooting tools that are easy to use.
I've read plenty of books on Windows 2000 Server, and this is one is my favorite. You can tell the author used to be a teacher because the explanations and walk-throughs are very thorough, decreasing the chances of making an error while performing tasks. I especially like the explanations on TCP/IP, Active Directory domains, DHCP, and DNS. Of course, these are basic pieces of 2000 Server, but Ms. Ballew details them nicely.There are also an incredible amount of resouces on the CD that I've printed out and used in my migration from NT to 2000, and my Net Admins are appreciative for the good start and organizational options these offer.If I had to choose one book to pick for upgrading to, migrating to, or installing a new Windows 2000 domain, I'd have to choose this one.
WOW!

Wow! This book has it all! I'd suggest this book for anyone who is upgrading to or using Windows 2000 Server on a network. For those who are upgrading, a complete guide for planning, installing, and managing, as well as setting new standards for inventory, security, and more. There's plenty of information on using DNS and DHCP too, as well as a chapter devoted to Routing and Remote Access. On the CD, there's a hundred or so worksheets that can help you with the migration or upgrade, and plenty of web sites that you can access if you get in trouble with it. I'd say this book is a MUST HAVE for any Windows 2000 administrator.
