[ Team LiB ] [ Team LiB ] Preface This book is a quick desktop reference on administering the Windows Server 2003 (WS2003) operating system. It's not a tutorial; there are plenty of those around-big fat books full of screenshots and overblown procedures designed for beginners. Instead, this book is a reference-an A-to-Z compendium of concepts, tools, and tasks for basic administration of the WS2003 platform, small enough to sit handily on your desktop where you need it and condensed enough to be quick and easy to use-hence the description quick desktop reference. Let's unpack this a bit more. [ Team LiB ] [ Team LiB ] Who This Book Is for As I mentioned, tutorials are generally written for beginners, have lots of screenshots, and are generally quite wordy. This book has no screenshots (probably a first for a book on a Windows platform) and is highly condensed, packing tons of information into each page. So the individuals most likely to benefit from using this book are intermediate to advanced admins who are already familiar with either the Windows NT, Windows 2000 platform, or both. Not that beginners won't find this book useful as well, but it's definitely not a starting point for learning WS2003 administration-as I said, it's a reference not a tutorial. You don't learn a language by reading the dictionary, but for enhancing your fluency in a language, a dictionary is certainly essential. And my hope is that experienced NT/W2K admins will find this book just as essential. [ Team LiB ] [ Team LiB ] How
