Server 2003 Active Directory Design and Implementation: Creating,

About the book...
If you are creating a new Active
Directory network, or are migrating or merging existing installations,
this is the book for you.
While the basics of the Active Directory are straightforward, to get the
most from it requires careful planning and a thorough understanding of
what can be accomplished. For any environment there are a number of core
stages in the Active Directory implementation; the 3 Ds: discovery,
design, and deployment. In this unique book, we take a broad range of
environment types and work through these stages; suggesting an Active
Directory design specific to that environment, and how to implement it;
at each stage providing clear instructions so the decisions are clearly
understood and the best-practice principles will be maintained
throughout your system lifetime. There are many books on using,
administering, or even deploying Active Directory, but this is the only
book that exists to relate the crucial design aspects to your target
environment, and show you to implement this design. |

John Savill has been using
Windows NT for eleven years since initially stumbling on it by
accident while working as a VMS Systems Administrator; the hung
system would not reboot when he pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del, instead it
just displayed a weird dialog box, his first encounter with an NT
server. After learning about NT from numerous sources including the
newsgroups he started
http://www.ntfaq.com where he placed answers to questions he saw
again and again. From there he started writing articles and books on
Windows NT such as the Windows NT and 2000 Answer Book which gained
John the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional status. He became part
of the Windows NT 5 beta team; which saw the introduction of the
Active Directory. This product initially terrified him since
everything he knew about domains was now redundant, and he had to
start from scratch again. Once he started to investigate this new
technology he came to appreciate that the effort was well worth it,
there was more power available, and he looked forward to wowing
customers with the new features he could implement! John has had the
honor to consult as a technical architect at many of the largest
institutions in the world, such as Deutsche Bank, Bank of England,
Citibank, and Bank of Ireland to name but a few.

A well thought-out Active Directory provides a solid foundation for
other services which will lower support costs and allow companies to
centrally manage their environment. You should look at the Active
Directory as your first step in moving to a centrally managed, highly
integrated IT environment that supports efficient and effective delivery
of business capabilities. Once the appropriate technical infrastructure
is in place, it is vital to leverage that infrastructure to create an
enterprise-class application infrastructure.
