This is the fundamental, definitive reference to Microsoft Small Business Server 2003. And it is relevant for all audiences: for beginners just embracing the notion of computerizing their small businesses, to IT consultants specializing in SBS implementation and deployment.
The book focuses on pragmatic solutions, not drawn-out theoretical discussions. And author Jonathan Hassell is a recognized authority on Windows network administration, who smartly approaches the product objectively, without evangelizing. The chapters will steer you through installation, configuration, exploration, and support.
Allow me to first say one of the most important things I’ll tell you in this book—thanks! Months of work went into producing this book, and I really appreciate your spending your hard-earned money (or your small business’s hard-won capital) on this work. I hope it exceeds your expectations.
With that out of the way, let’s look at what you’ll find inside this title. Small Business Server is such a large topic, mainly because the product you’re interested in is many faceted, with lots of places to poke and prod. I’ve tried to cover all of the basics, some of the intermediate topics, and a few of the advanced features of SBS in this book.
