My goals for this Windows Server 2003 section are to help troubleshoot a problem and to get you started if you are searching for information on a new topic.
Perhaps the best way to explain what my Windows Server 2003 pages are about is by way of examples. If you are planning to migrate from NT or W2K3, then I have a checklist. In fact, my best role is getting you started,
for example, understand DNS, writing VBScripts or configuring a Cluster Server. I also have advice on Windows topics such as Active Directory, disaster recovery and security. Are you looking for new areas to explore?
If so then I can fill gaps in your
knowledge of Group Policy, FSMO or RIS.
Here below, is my site map for the Windows Server 2003 part of my website. I divided into into 8 sub-sections:
I am attracted to
ipMonitor
because it inhabits that zone of part work, part play; Guy just could not put
the dashboard away. This excellent performance monitor will get you
started in the quest to remove bottlenecks on your network. SolarWinds
provides this fully-functioning product free for 21 days. So download and
install ipMonitor, then start scrutinizing your computers CPU, memory and disk
performance.
Installing ipMonitor is a breeze, but learn from gung-ho Guy's mistake, and
install SNMP on each computer that you wish to monitor. What sealed my
unreserved recommendation of SolarWinds is their support team, you will get
expert help even when you are evaluating the ipMonitor.
More Information. As an MCT trainer, I can thoroughly endorse TrainSignal because they
deliver practical hands on training. In particular, I like the way that TrainSignal cover all learning methods, instructor lead, video and of course text material. You can either take one module,
for example File Server or go for a combination of modules.

A quick terminology check, this section is about Windows Server
2003; during development it
was know as Whistler, XP Server or
plain .NET. Talking of names, if you liked the acronym W2K, then you may like the
acronym W2K3 for this product.
