Description
Security is one of the biggest issues facing Windows administrators. Until now admins have had to gather information from various online and print sources. This is the first book to gather into one place in an easy to follow format all the information available about security on the Windows Server 2003 platform. While it is written in the form of a reference, the author doesn't just list the features, however, but gives a plethora of practical implementation tips. It extends security from single server based best practices to those that can produce an entire security framework for Windows domains. Roberta Bragg is one of the best known writers and speakers on the subject, and she uses her knowledge of what problems professional administrators face every day to fine tune the content to their needs. She will be promoting this book heavily in her many articles and speaking engagements.
