| You’re holding this book in your hands at the local bookstore, or maybe
viewing it online. Better yet, you’re sitting at your desk with a cup of coffee
looking at this foreword.You’re wondering if you bought the right book.
You’re probably expecting to find some serious shortcuts to managing
Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003. And that’s exactly what this
book is about. It’s focused, concise and to-the-point. Don’t you wish you could
say the same about your weekly meetings?
This book will give you the essential information you’ll need to install,
configure and manage your Windows Small Business Server 2003 network. It
provides step-by-step instructions along with focused technical background for
those of you who are not full-time IT professionals. In fact, we’re assuming that
most of you reading this book are from some other career field (accountant,
office manager, mechanic, warehouse manager, monkey wrangler, etc.) and were
tasked with implementing or managing your small business’s network. For
many of you, managing the network comes under that catch-all phrase often
found in job descriptions “and other duties, as assigned.”
This book cuts to the chase and lets you know exactly what you need to
do. It guides you through key server tasks with explanations and screen shots. It
provides additional resources on many topics so you can continue to learn after
you’ve mastered the concepts in the book.We don’t drown you in arcane technical
detail or go on and on about the subtleties of Internet Protocol addressing
(though that’s a particular passion of mine, I held myself in check).This is a nononsense
reference that is comprehensive in all the right places. |
