5th paragraph

The section

Configure a name server to forward queries it can't resolve
DNS --> Configure a Forwarder

HAS BEEN RELOCATED directly after the end of the second paragraph, which ends "in Chapter
4."

Also, in this phrase "DNS --> Configure a Forwarder" the word "DNS" NOW APPEARS as
italicized text.

under NET SHARE heading

I forgot to mention that in Windows Server 2003 the NET SHARE command has a new option:

/GRANT

You must explicitely include this option when you want to grant share permissions.
This option was omitted from the text by mistake. Sorry!

In the area "With WEEKLY" under "/d Day,[Day...]

The Syntax
With WEEKLY
MON-SUN[, MON-SUN...]

implies to me you may create a task using syntax such as

SCHTASKS /CREATE /TN test2 /SC WEEKLY /D MON-FRI /RU "system" /TR test.exe

but Windows 2003 will not accept /D MON-FRI.
It will accept:

SCHTASKS /CREATE /TN test2 /SC WEEKLY
/D MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI /RU "system" /TR test.exe
