For every Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE) managing a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition network within the dust-free confines of a "Network Operating Center," there is a non-MCSE admin managing a Windows Small Business Server 2003 network under far less glamorous conditions. Their job is to keep the network up and running no matter what, with very few resources available. "How to Cheat" is written for these unsung heroes; the last line of defense in most small enterprises. Create an Installation and Recovery Plan for Install, Upgrade, or Migration Every hour of planning results in a net savings of four hours on the other end. Fixing, re-doing, and troubleshooting will ALWAYS chew up more time. Secure Your Server Securing the server includes physical security, configuration security, and software security. Its always easier to keep a server clean than to clean it up after a disaster. Demystify Disk Management If you have trouble processing the differences between Boot, Primary, System and Extended Partitions, you are not alone. Effectively Manage File Storage Configure and Troubleshoot Disk Quotas, File Encryption Management, Disk and File Compression, and Shadow Copy. Painlessly Add and Configure Users and Groups on your Network User accounts and groups provide the framework for security and organization in the Small Business Server network. Set Permissions so that your Server is Both Secure and Accessible Harness the Power of Group Policy, Administrative Templates, Software Setting and Windows Settings to Apply Changes to User, Group and Computer Permissions. Connect Client Computers to the Network Everything You Need to Know about IP Addresses, DNS, DHCP, Domain Access and Login. Answer THE Most Frequently Asked Question: "Why Cant I Print!" Printers can be connected either to client computers, servers, or directly to the network; and they can be configure by either Windows or Your Printer Vendors Software. Prepare for the Worst Bad Things Sometimes Happen to Good Network Administrators. You need to know exactly what do when things go very, very wrong. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Teaches you how to run the setup wizardSince the wizard is pretty straight forward the book wasn't much use. I would have liked more discussion of when to use the default and when to customize. The book advises a minimum 8 gb system drive. Even with Exchange et al on another partition the updates eat up most of the 8 gb quickly causing performance problems. I suggest 14-16 gb wth hard drives so cheap and the time wasted if you have to repartition. Another place the book recommends the hard drive be at least ...

Rating: - Fine if you don't run into any problems - but that is an unlikely scenarioThis book is fine for an overview of the features included in SBS but, if you need to set it up, this would not be a book that I would recommend. In fact, I wish I could get my money back. The author approaches the set-up as if it were almost an out-of-the-box program and does not address any of the potentially major problems that can crop up. - And a lot do - just check out the TechNet newsgroup for SBS on Microsoft's website - http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsServer2003/sbs/community/newsgroups/dgbrowser/en ... Read More Rating: - Great resource for SBSThis is a great resource for anyone who is installing or maintaining Windows SBS. There are a lot of screen shots so you know where you're headed and the information is clear and concise. I didn't want a lot of technical jargon, just a book that could help step me through the setup and installation and help me avoid common mistakes. This job filled the bill and I'd recommend it to anyone who's working with SBS. Rating: - Not much more than dialog boxes and help screensWith few exceptions, this book simply instructs the reader to accept default prompts and reiterates the choices offered by dialog boxes. I suspect the book has two target audiences: 1) small business owners who don't want to know much about SBS and just get it running, and 2) those who need to get it running but also want to learn about the program. For the first group, I suggest you save the time you would spend reading the book and do whatever it is you do to make money and use it to pay an IT professional to install and ... Read More
