A complete roadmap for deploying and managing Windows 2000


Windows 2000's new management features are so extensive that they can trip up even the most astute of system administrators. For this reason, many companies have put off migrating to this new operating system. This book provides IT professionals with the guidance they need to get through the deployment phase of Windows 2000 and take advantage of all of its new management tools--Group Policy Objects, Active Directory, Remote Installation Services (RIS), and Intellimirror. Readers will learn how to configure Active Directory to support automated deployments of both operating system and applications, and how to use third-party utilities as well as Microsoft System Management Server (SMS) in automated deployment.
