Windows 2000 Active Directory

From the Publisher:
The most important change in Windows 2000 is the inclusion of Active Directory, a fully qualified Directory service. It is such an important change that Systems Administrators are likely to find coming to grips with Active Directory to be one of their biggest headaches. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Windows 2000 Active Directory gives administrators an in-depth knowledge of AD, and it is an indispensable guide they will turn to whenever they need help.
The book addresses systems administrators, both those who are evaluating Windows 2000 trying to understand the design issues involved as well as those who will be using Windows 2000 on a daily basis. As Active Directory is a new technology for Windows, Windows 2000 Active Directory provides a solid foundation in AD basics and it describes how to use it effectively.
This book is divided into three sections:
The Basics, which provides an overview of the Active Directory technology and a detailed introduction to AD features. Design, which describes mapping your organization’s typology into the Active Directory Schema; specific topics include the AD namespace and DNS, AD objects such as sites and domains, replication, group policies, and migration issues. Scripting, which covers the powerful capabilities of the Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI), including ADSI’s use with ActiveX Data Objects (ADO),Active Server Pages (ASP), and Visual Basic (VB).

Written by a participant in the Windows 2000 Rapid Deployment Program, Windows 2000 Active Directory focuses on the practical, hands-on information you need to manage your site. Instead of a screen-by-screen description of the graphical user interface, this book focuses on the tasks you need to perform to manage your organization’s Directory effectively. The heavy emphasis on scripting with the ADSI will help you automate tasks to achieve greater reliability and save time. Windows 2000 Active Directory is a practical guide to the new technology for the overworked system or network administrator.
