Active Directory Tools in Windows Server 2003

Network Newsletter for 10/15/2003

Dear Reader,

The dearth of available tools for manageability and group policy management in Windows 2000 left Windows administrators scrambling for alternatives. To make up for these shortcomings, Microsoft made the delivery of new tools to fill in these gaps a key objective to fulfill in Windows Server 2003.

Robbie Allen, author of the recently released "Active Directory Cookbook" (as well as the April release of "Active Directory, 2nd Edition"), gives you the rundown on the best new tools available for improving manageability in Windows Server 2003, and he tells you where you can get them.

Robbie is also coauthoring a third book--on "DNS on Windows Server 2003"--due out at the end of this year. That's three books from Robbie in less than a year. Either he is a glutton for punishment (as anyone who's written a technology book will attest), or he just likes to write.

It would seem he likes to write. Enjoy his latest article.

Until next week,

Tara A. McGoldrick
Web Editor
