[H] Network learnin

2010-04-01 Thread Mark Dodge
I need recommendations for the best book to learn networking from, I have
come to find out I am severely lacking in stuff like printer sharing and
domain controllers and active directory.

I have three stores that I have set up with servers and they take care of
the practice management software for each location, but the software is
going to have to go to a one server enterprise version and I need to set up
a domain controller to run the other three and share printers across the
network and also the need to back up all this stuff..

I'm doing this all gratis for the time and cannot afford to bring in a
network IT guy yet..

 

So does anyone have a reco?? Cheap hopefully.

Mark,
I know that mine may be old, but I am willing to send you my old W2K 
books (3) for free. They discuss Active Directory, Domain controllers, etc.

Let me know, and, I'll have them off to you on the big brown truck.
Best,
Duncan

I sure would appreciate it, I'm dealing with win2003 server but they would
help, networking and active directory should be the similar for both.
