Synopsis

Taking technical manuals to the lighter side, this introduction intersperses humor with solid information on the world of Microsoft Windows® networking. Starting with theory, the reader is shown the how and why of such topics as Ethernet, TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, SMB, and NetBIOS. The specifics are then explored, with chapters devoted to Active Directory, Kerberos, and basic network administration. Interspersed throughout are diagrams and tables; a series of appendices and a bibliography complete the package. Seasoned professionals will find here a quick (and amusing) review of relevant topics, while novices will be slowly and methodically introduced to the topics in a "layered" approach to learning.
