Re: Re: Creating a DOMAIN Win 2000server

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

Hmm...

Tricky...

Haven't used any of the "normal" guide books... - I've done the
MCSE courses 
so I got a STACK of study material with that, plus several weeks of
courses, 
plus 6 months in a lab "playing" with it, plus numerous
colleagues at work 
who are *considerably* more expert than I, plus a subscription to MS 
Technet, plus as a last resort a Microsoft employee based permanently in my
office who has access to internal resources inside MS, and can ask the 
developers to answer any tricky questions!!

I can't honestly make any recommendations for a "good book" to
get, but I 
can try to answer any specific queries...

Paul G.
