We hope by now you've had a chance to examine our new look and streamlined home page. If you have, you may have noticed a significant change in the shape and substance of our content as well. Let me explain, starting with SearchWin2000.com, which is now the mainstay of a family of web sites offering comprehensive and exclusive information about architecting, deploying, managing and developing Windows technology in the corporate environment.
SearchWin2000.com is the go-to place for information, news and technical advice about all flavors of the Windows operating system -- servers and clients, Active Directory, Group Policy, Terminal Services, upgrades and migration, Longhorn, IT architecture and management, certification and staff development.
The newest addition to our Windows family is SearchWinSystems.com, launched January 21. Here you'll find the popular Windows admin tip and tip contest, plus new technical features about backup, storage, hardware, Windows system administration, server consolidation and performance tuning.
SearchWindowsSecurity.com offers the drill-down information you'll need to harden Windows systems, plus in-depth articles and news about security vulnerabilities within the Microsoft application stack, Windows security tools and patches.
For Exchange administrators, we have SearchExchange.com, which is loaded with practical advice about Exchange deployment and migration, e-mail archiving and storage, Outlook and Outlook Web Access, instant messaging, spam and phishing.
Each of our sites -- and the soon to be launched SearchSQLServer -- serve a distinct segment of the Windows enterprise based on specific technology and job title. Here's a sample of what you'll find this week:
>From SearchWin2000.com: Targeting specific DCs for routine administration. Does it matter which domain controller you select when you need to perform routine maintenance on Active Directory?
