It is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
When Microsoft took an elegant simple schema from UNIX and redesigned it into a convoluted nightmare called “Active Directory” it was time for this book. Turns out that “Active Directory” is not active or a directory; who would have guessed?
Well, this book starts you off with correcting concepts and even lets you know that with the new terminology the definition of “domain” has been changed.
Many Dummies books are too busy being cute; this one, however, is so packed with helpful information that it does not have time to be cute. This book takes you from ground zero to up and running while helping avoid common pitfalls.
