I am not a consultant, just a 'nerd' with sometime. I work for a large mortgage company and I work in our business unit in development of new storage/database front ends (as well as SQL databases themselves). I am tired of the IT staff talking technical jargin I know nothing about. So I decided to get down and dirty an learn how the servers work in our datacenter.

Best way I figure is to jump into a server and go at it. Now I don't think the corp will just lend me a server to play on; so I bought SBS 2003 (premium) for some at home fun.

I just have one major problem, I don't get all of this DNS, DHCP, etc jargin. Will this book help me with it? I have been looking to purchase it; all the reviews are great. I just want to know where it stands on setting up that kind of stuff?

Ok Here is the deal.

Neither of these books are going to be an indepth exploration of the innerds of networking. They are about SBS and SBS handles these for you so you don't have to get your hands dirty. You can still use you new SBS server to experiment with. It does have all those services running under the hood and you can expose them by expanding the advanced section of the Management Console. You can also get to all the regular tools under the Adminuistrative Tools item in the strat menu. And of course I want you to read those two books to get you hooked on SBS and become part of the collectiuve :>)

But to directly answer you question to learn about DHCP, DNS, WIN, Ect you would be better server by reading a Windows Server Book such as
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Unleashed, 2nd Edition
By Rand Morimoto, Kenton Gardinier, Michael Noel, Omar Droubi
ISBN: 0672326671

In here you will get the technical depth of knowledge I think you are after, and then you will really appreciate the work your new SBS Server will save you.

Happy Reading, get all 3!
