    by Jennifer Luscom, Assistant Editor

    The first day of summer is right around the corner, and we all know what that means: Vacation. Vacations are great when you're the one taking them, but not so great when your coworkers disappear. The months of June, July and August are, for most companies, months of understaffed departments due to vacation coverage. Often you find yourself doing two jobs -- yours, and the person's who's vacationing. Bottom line, you are busier than ever. Because of this I thought it would be a perfect time to remind you about the Best Web Links section of our Web site.

    Our Best Web Links can help you when you need top-of-the-line information about specific topics, and don't have the time to search all over the Internet. Our huge collection of links is carefully organized and meticulously researched. The SearchWin2000.com editorial team personally chooses the best sources of information regarding Windows from around the Internet. We arrange them in common-sense categories and sub-categories, so that you can drill down and find the information you are seeking quickly and easily. Top-tier selections include Active Directory & Network Administration, Applications, Application Development, Client Administration, Clients and Desktops, Downloads & Drivers, Hardware Administration, Internet & Web Administration, Know-IT-All Quizzes, Migration, Security, Servers, Server Administration, Systems Management, The Book Rack, Training, Certification & Conferences, Webcast Presentations and 64-Bit Computing. Delve into each topic's sub-categories for an ultra-targeted and highly organized collection of information.

    Also, please e-mail me with any great Web sites that you have come across that should be included our Best Web Links section!

    Enjoy the beginning of summer, and I hope you are going on a nice vacation!

    Site Exclusives:
    >> Setting the Windows Service Pack revision level
    If a Service Pack is not installed correctly, or another program makes incorrect assumptions about the current Service Pack number, damage may result. This tip shows how to manually reset the Service Pack level.

    >> What 10-year product lifecycles mean for MCPs
    This has profound implications for those working on MS certifications. It means that companies still using Windows NT 4.0 must accelerate migration plans and get started implementing soon.

    >> Oops! True IT Blooper #139: Magnetic personality
    Sometimes, help desk technicians can't resist playing jokes on the more "technologically challenged" users. Don't miss the tale of the "Super Floppy Protector."

    Tip of the Week:
    As the size of your network grows, the number of domain controllers and essential network service member servers increases dramatically. Remote administration offers an easier approach to managing and controlling any number of disparate systems without significantly compromising security. Read more about setting up remote administration in this tip.
