| This book is the Windows Server version of the classic
TCP/IP Network Administration. Like the book that inspired
it, Windows Server 2003 Network Administration provides an
overview of the essential TCP/IP protocols, and explains how
to properly manage and configure the services based on these
protocols. Any skilled network administrator knows that
understanding how things work is as important as knowing how
things are done. This book is the essential guide to both,
containing everything a network administrator needs to
exchange information via the Internet, and to build
effective reliable networks.
This must-read guide is divided into three distinct
sections: fundamental concepts, tutorial, and reference. The
first three chapters are a basic discussion of the network
protocols and services. This discussion provides the
fundamental concepts necessary to understand the rest of the
book. The remaining chapters provide a how-to tutorial for
planning, installing and configuring various important
network services. The book concludes with three appendixes
that are technical references for various configuration
options. Content specifics include how to:
Install, configure, and manage a Microsoft DNS and Windows
DHCP server
Control remote communications with Microsoft RRAS software
Protect hosts with Internet Connection Firewalls
Configure Internet and Intranet Web services with IIS
Design proper security into your network
Troubleshoot the network when problems develop
After you've turned the final page of Windows Server 2003
Network Administration, you'll not only understand how to
network, but also why it needs to be done.
