Initial Notes:
A good way to use this book is as an Instruction
Manual. One would not read it sequentially, as if a novel or educational
textbook. You could read it like any cooking book. Hmm ... what do I want
to cook-up?? How about adding many computers to AD at once! Let me lookup
the recipe for it.
Covers all the buzz words and how they are associated
with AD:
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP),
multi-master replication, Domain Name System (DNS), Group Policy, the Active
and Directory Schema.
Organization of

Target Audience:
If you asked my wife, she would say it is for type 2
people. Apparently that is the type of person who likes to tinker. One who
will always look for a better way to accomplish something. A very task
oriented person. The theory isn't as important as getting the job done.
It is for the System Administrators who love to script.
