Synopsis

The 70-214 MCSE/MCSA Guide to Implementing and Administering Security on a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network is a hands-on, practical guide that can be used to master the security features of a Windows 2000 server. Though aimed at enabling the reader to pass the MCSE/MCSA certification exam #70-214, the book?s larger goal is to provide system administrators with the background and practical steps needed to create and maintain a secure working environment for networked users. This book focuses on the interaction of Active Directory with the security mechanisms provided by Windows 2000, including the Encryption File System, Kerberos authentication, security templates, and Group Policy security settings. Specialized topics such as editing Registry keys and using command line utilities are also discussed. Hundreds of figures demonstrate how to set up and manage secure systems, while conceptual overviews outline the principles behind both the technology and sound administrative practices designed to minimize security risks.
