Mastering Windows Server 2008: Enterprise Technologies is one of three new books by best-selling author Mark Minasi on the latest version of Windows Server. It goes beyond the essential services and features of the operating system to address the "extras" of interest to the largest organizations and the advanced training seasoned IT professionals need. The book covers such features as Network Access Protection quarantine, Windows Sharepoint Services, Windows Server Update Services, and the parts of Active Directory and setup that apply to large companies. Topics also include, creating a certificate infrastructure; IPv6, including new DNS and DHCP issues; advanced IP; virtual private networks; DFS and DFS-N; migrating, merging, and modifying your Active Directory; connecting Mac and Linux Clients; building and managing FTP servers; building and managing SMTP/POP servers; and advanced user account management and support. As always, Mark Minasi tells it like it is—providing workarounds for things that don't quite work as they should and describes in detail many undocumented features. The other two new books by Mark Minasi are Mastering Windows Server 2008: Networking Foundations, which provides beginners what they need to know to get started with the new software, and Mastering Windows Server 2008: Essential Technologies, which thoroughly explores all of the features and tasks IT professionals need to know to set up and manage a typical Windows Server 2008 network day-to-day. Although each of the three books stands alone, taken together they constitute the update of the market-leading Mastering Windows Server 2003.

Windows 2000 is slated to be Microsoft's business (and eventually -- personal) operating system of the future. Microsoft is investing more than $1 billion in research and development on Windows this year, and Bill Gates has said that he is "betting the company on Windows 2000." There are now at least 2,000,000 NT Server 4 installations. Windows 2000 Server is the successor to Windows NT. Some experts have predicted more than 1 million of these installations will move to Windows 2000 in its very first year!
