Windows 2000's Active Directory provides a single uniform interface to all of the network's resources, including printers, documents, e-mail addresses, databases, and users. It also manages naming, querying, registration, and resolution needs. This book introduces readers to all of Active Directory's capabilities. Internetworking Protocol (IP) addresses are the unique numeric identifiers required of every device connected to the Internet. They allow for the precise routing of data across very complex worldwide internetworks. The rules for their format and use are governed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) of the The Internet SOCiety (ISOC). In response to the exponential increase in demand for new IP addresses, the IETF has finalized its revision on IP addressing as IP Version 6, also know as IPng (ng = Next Generation). Key hardware vendors such as Cisco and major Internet Service Providers such as America Online have already announced plans to migrate to IP Version 6.
IP address allocation within an organization requires a lot of long-term planning. This timely publication addresses the administrator and engineer's need to know how IP 6 impacts their enterprise networks



* Ideal for companies planning a phased migration from IP 4 to IP 6
* Timely publication: The IETF standard was finalized in early 1999 and will begin to be implemented in late 1999/2000. The current IP Version 4 address set will be exhausted by 2003
* The book will focus on planning and configuring networks and devices for IP 6. Specifically, it will cover how to:
* Increase the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits
* Support more levels of addressing hierarchy
* Support an increased number of addressable nodes
* Support simpler auto-configuration of addresses
* Improve the scalability of multicast routing by adding a "scope" field to multicast addresses
* Use a new "anycast address" to send a packet to any one of a group of nodes

Read the business pages or computer press and you will find a major news story involving a breech of network security. Windows NT, as the premier network platform, has many important security features but they are difficult to configure and manage. With the launch of Windows 2000 Server (the successor to NT Server 4.0), Microsoft has announced several new security features that must be quickly understood by network administrators. This book provides information about the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system security services, including security management using the Microsoft Security Configuration Tool Set, support for IP Security, the Encrypting File System, Public Key Infrastructure, smart cards, and Kerberos. * The release of this book is targeted to correspond with the release of Windows 2000 Server * The security of an organization's data and communications is critical to its survival * Brings Clarity to topics that are notoriously difficult to grasp Network security has become an increasing problem, with stories about sometimes significant security breaches a common feature of the nightly news. The premier network platform, Windows NT, has many important security features but they are difficult to configure and manage. With the launch of its successor, Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft has announced new security features that must be quickly grasped by network administrators.

This book addresses this new technology in depth. Written in the practical, results-oriented style for which Syngress Media books are noted, it provides detailed analysis and nuts-and-bolts information about 2000's operating system security services, including the Microsoft Security Configuration Tool Set, support for IP security, the Encrypting File System, Public Key Infrastructure, smart cards, and Kerberos.
