Product Description
Product Description
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Unleashed, 3rd Edition is the first book on the market to cover Windows Server 2003 R2. This latest edition will keep the text viable with the major "R2" update being released from Microsoft late in 2005. Many of the Windows Server 2003 titles have not been revised since release in 2003 even though Microsoft has released a service pack and now the R2 update.
This book will provide detailed guidance focused on the most commonly used yet most complicated planning, installation, migration, and problem solving topics that challenge IT professionals. This title goes far beyond the basic installation and setup information found in hundreds of other resources and focus on the less understood yet most important details for system configuration, tips, tricks, and techniques to successfully implement and administer a Windows networking system.

***Very Helpful***
9 July 2003
Format:Paperback
After buying and returning 2 other books, I'm glad I finally found a book on Windows 2003 I plan to keep!
I've been working with Windows since 3.51, and as an MCSE, all I was looking for was a book *on* Windows 2003, not a cut-paste job of some Windows 2000 book. I've been beta testing Windows 2003 for several months, but wanted to double check for expert advice before biting the bullet on the migration this summer.
Based on the book abstract from the authors that said this book was written from *ground up*, I was hopeful this was it!
C1 on the technology primer was a great overview of what to expect in Windows 2003. C5 and C6 on design were good reading, I wish I knew some of *tips* before migrating to Windows 2000 a couple years ago. C17 on Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 migrations gave me several suggestions on how to migrate. And C31 on clustering was the best coverage on load balancing and clustering that I've ever seen printed in a book.
This is a book that an experienced NT or Windows 2000 administrator or architect would find helpful!

Perfect for Migrations!
9 July 2003
Format:Paperback
I bought this book a couple months ago based on the reviews here on Amazon. The primary purpose of buying the book was to help guide us through the design and migration from NT4 to Windows 2003.
While we have a long way to go (we're about 1/3 the way through our migration), we used the Windows Server 2003 Unleashed book as our bible. We're looking to expand our migration to include IPSec security and Group Policies once we're done with the core migration.
The only thing I was disappointed with the book was it's lack of information on IPv6. That's my next project here, but as I've been reading on the public boards, Microsoft may be changing the way they support IPv6, so maybe it's better we just hold off.
But I bought the book for migration hints from NT to 2003, and this book guided us along the way. Two thumbs up!

GREAT Reference!
19 April 2003
Format:Paperback
I was looking for a reference that covered the new Volume Shadow Copy, DFS, ASR, security components, IIS, RIS for Servers, and migration from Windows NT4 and Windows 2000. After downloading about a dozen whitepapers and buying a couple other Windows .NET Server books (all of which were outdated based on beta code or something), I finally bought this book based on a recommendation from a friend who works at Microsoft.
This book has a chapter on everything! Not only did the introduction tell me about new features I was not aware of in Windows Server 2003 that I'm going to try, but the book had detailed planning and preparation information as well as step by step procedures on implementing the technologies (steps that actually WORKED with the full release (not beta) version of the operating sytsem).
This is a great book for someone who wants to understand the basics of Windows Server 2003, or for someone experienced with Windows and wants to just cut right to the details.
Excellent book!
