Admin 911

• This book will be a lifesaver for systems administrators looking for immediate solutions to the constant pressures of keeping systems up and running, 24X7.
  
• The Admin911 series is a different approach to the networking book market because these books provide only the optimal solutions to a given situation and the exact fixes and tweaks for a given problem.
  
• This series will provide experienced systems administrators with concise handbooks focused on problem-solving, troubleshooting, performance enhancement and management tips.
  
• Group Policies are new with Windows 2000, and replace weaker features that were available in previous versions of Windows. The lack of adequate documentation, the illogical structure of the policy containers, and the overwhelming power of Group Policies have made administrators uncomfortable with this feature, therefore creating a market for our in-depth book.
  
• As part of the Admin911 series launch, this book will teach how to prevent problems by proper configuration, provide hard to find techniques & tweaks, develop maintenance plans to avoid downtime, and quick fixes for problems.
