Windows Server 2022 Essential Network Installation Guide

by Nicholas Rushton

This book is a practical installation guide for Windows Server 2022, produced from a real-world perspective and written according to the Goldilocks not too little information, not too much information, but just right. It assumes a reasonable working knowledge of Windows and the basics of networking. Both Desktop GUI and Core versions of Windows Server are covered, along with the use of Windows Admin Center for systems management. It is written in a friendly, “do-it-like-this” style, rather than with undue emphasis on theory and abstract topics. With over 200 illustrations and screenshots, practical examples and clear explanations, it takes you through setting up Windows Server 2022 in a typical small organization. Whether you are installing it for the first time, are planning to do so, or are just plain curious and learning Windows Server, you will find this proven guide of interest and help. And, with everything in one place, it is the superior alternative to spending many frustrating hours searching the internet for what is sometimes inaccurate or obsolete information.

As Windows Server 2022 builds on Microsoft's earlier versions, users of Windows Server 2019 and Server 2016 will also find most of this manual also relevant.
