With the success of computer viruses like Slammer, security issues are now a top priority for Windows system administrators, right alongside day-to-day tasks such as setting up accounts and managing performance. If you use Windows 2003 Server at a small to medium-sized organization, or use Microsoft's Small Business Server, "Securing Windows Server 2003" (O'Reilly) offers the hands-on advice you need for securing your network. The book shows you how to put Windows security tools to work and how to run the server's subsystems to protect users and resources. But that's just the beginning.
