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:
Guy
Recommends: Permissions Analyzer - Free Active Directory Tool
I like the
Permissions Monitor because it enables me to see quickly WHO has permissions
to do WHAT. When you launch this tool it analyzes a users effective NTFS
permissions for a specific file or folder, takes into account network share
access, then displays the results in a nifty desktop dashboard!
Think of all the frustration that this free utility saves when you are
troubleshooting authorization problems for users access to a resource.
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.
Guy Recommends: Orion's NPM - Network Performance Monitor
Orion's performance monitor is designed for detecting network outages. NPM makes it easy to see what's working, and what needs your attention.
This utility guides you through creating network maps. It also helps troubleshooting by indicating whether the root cause is faulty equipment, or resource overload.
