The Complete Guide to Windows Server 2008 P1Praise for The Complete Guide to Windows Server 2008“John Savill’s The Complete Guide to Windows Server 2008 is comprehensive without being overwhelming. At over 1500 pages, the book is not light reading, but Savill does a superb job of explaining the features and functions of Windows Server 2008 in a way that the read- er can understand and apply. Rather than investing in a library of books, an administrator can just keep this book handy as a reference resource for all their Windows Server 2008 questions and needs.”—Tony Bradley, CISSP, Microsoft MVP, Director of Security, Evangelyze Communications“John Savill’s book is the kind of technology bible you don’t mind reading cover to cover. Often I find books with this much information just too deadly dull to actually read, but this is an exception. If you are an old hat, you might end up skipping the starts of chapters, as John makes few assumptions about what you already know—a very good thing overall.” —Patrick Hynds, CTO, CriticalSites Microsoft Regional Director“Of all the recent books on Windows Server 2008 I’ve read, this one provides the most com- plete coverage in an easy to digest manner. An aptly titled publication that I recommend for anyone working with Windows Server 2008.” —Alan Le Marquand, Content Architect, Technical Audience Global Marketing Team“With the number of changes being introduced in Windows Server 2008, a book like The Complete Guide to Windows Server 2008 is essential in any IT professional’s library. John Savill does an excellent job of introducing these changes. He also gives clear instructions on how to implement them. I would highly recommend to anyone who’s planning on mak- ing Microsoft’s latest server operating system part of their infrastructure to buy and read this book from cover to cover.” —Ed Roberts, Lethos Incorporated“This book is an invaluable one-stop reference for deploying, configuring, and managing Windows Server 2008. It’s filled with John’s unique and hard-earned nuggets of advice, helpful scripts, and shortcuts that will save you time and money.” —Mark Russinovich, Technical Fellow, Platform and Services Division, Microsoft“The Complete Guide to Windows Server 2008 by John Savill is, indeed, just that. It begins with one of the most clear, concise, and understandable explanations of the evolution of Windows from its earliest days that I have ever read. I expected to learn about Windows Server 2008, but along the way learned a great deal about Windows in general and Vista in particular. If you are looking for a guide to help you navigate the rapids on the way to imple- menting, running, and troubleshooting Windows Server 2008, this is an excellent choice.” —Jerry Tibor, Microsoft MVP, Windows Server“If you’ve got questions about Windows Server 2008, John Savill has the answers. Written by one of the industry’s true heavyweights, The Complete Guide to Windows Server 2008 is just that, your complete guide to planning, deploying, configuring, and administering a comput- ing environment based on the latest and greatest version of Windows Server.
