About the Book

Windows 2000 Server can drastically reduce the cost of enterprise networking -- but only if your servers are properly configured. In this book, Windows 2000 expert Curt Aubley walks you through every aspect of setting up Windows 2000 Server for your custom environment, stress-testing it to evaluate performance, and sizing hardware to achieve maximum value. Aubley doesn't just show you how to make your current Windows 2000 Server-based solutions run quickly and cost-effectively: he covers the "whys" you'll need to address any Win2K performance challenges. You'll find specific, detailed recommendations for sizing and tuning both Windows 2000 software and hardware, including CPU, memory, disk subsystem, network, and other potential bottlenecks. Aubley presents detailed coverage for maximizing performance and scalability in each leading Windows 2000 server application, including: optimizing file servers, IIS 5-based web servers, database servers running SQL Server 7 or 2000, messaging servers running Exchange 5.5 or 2000, backup systems, and domain controllers. He also offers insight into the performance overhead associated with security on Windows 2000 Servers. The book includes practical "Rules of Thumb" for identifying bottlenecks; management scripts for tracking performance and availability, and much more.
