<\/a><\/i>Windows Server 2008 Administrator\u2019s Pocket Consultant, by William R. Stanek<\/a> <\/p>\nExcerpt from William R. Stanek, Author
Welcome to Windows Server 2008 Administrator\u2019s Pocket Consultant.<\/i> As the author of more than 65 books, I\u2019ve been writing professionally about technology since 1994. Over the years, I\u2019ve written about many different server technologies and products, but the one product I like writing about the most is Windows Server. From top to bottom, Windows Server 2008 is substantially different from earlier releases of Windows Server. For starters, many of the core components of Windows Server build off the same code base as Windows Vista. This means User Account Control (UAC) and just about everything you know about Windows Vista applies to Windows Server 2008. That\u2019s the good news\u2014the bad news is that just about everything else in Windows Server 2008 has changed in some way.
Having written many top-selling Windows Server books, I was also able to bring a unique perspective to this book\u2014the kind of perspective you can gain only after working with technologies for many years. For you see, long before there was a product called Windows Server 2008, I was working with a beta product and before that I was working with an alpha product that most people outside of Microsoft don\u2019t even know existed. From these early beginnings, the final version of Windows Server 2008 slowly evolved until it became the finished product that is available today.
Additionally, as you\u2019ve probably noticed, more than enough information about Windows Server 2008 is available on the Web and in other printed books. You can find tutorials, reference sites, discussion groups, and more to make using Windows Server 2008 easier. However, the advantage of reading this book instead is that all of the information you need to learn Windows Server 2008 is organized in one place and presented in a straightforward and orderly fashion. This book has everything you need to customize Windows Server 2008 installations, master Windows Server 2008 configuration, and maintain Windows Server 2008 servers.
In this book, I teach you how features work, why they work the way they work, and how to customize them to meet your needs. I\u2019ll also offer specific examples of how certain features can meet your particular needs, and how you can use other features to troubleshoot and resolve issues you might have. In addition, this book provides tips, best practices, and examples of how to optimize Windows Server 2008 to meet your needs. This book won\u2019t just teach you how to configure Windows Server 2008\u2014it\u2019ll teach you how to squeeze every last bit of power out of it and make the most out of the features and options included in Windows Server 2008. <\/p>\n
