Microsoft® Windows Server 2003: Administrator’s Companion

Summary

This chapter has provided only the briefest overview of the Windows Server 2003 system and a look at just a few of the thousands of changes, large and small, that have been made. Deciding how to implement Windows Server 2003 on your system requires thought and planning. Although planning and design are important elements in nearly every chapter in this book, the next three chapters are devoted exclusively to the subject. Chapter 2 introduces Active Directory. Chapter 3 covers planning namespace and domains. Finally, Chapter 4 covers the matters to be considered before deploying your first copy of Windows Server 2003.
