New O'Reilly Book Saves Sys Admins Time and "Logon Problem" Headaches
Sebastopol, CA--Administrators spend much of their time and energy on
workstation problems, those user and logon problems that keep the helpdesk
phone jingling. From forgotten passwords to user-caused destruction of
workstation environments, the problems are ongoing and unremitting. Aimed
at administrators who run networks with Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, Windows
95, and Windows 98 clients, a brand new O'Reilly release,
Managing Windows NT
Logons, puts those common problems and solutions into a volume that
administrators can keep at hand and use easily.
"The essence of this book is a very, very detailed explanation of
everything that happens during logons and user access of resources, what
you can configure, how you can troubleshoot, and so on," says author Kathy
Ivens. "Whatever happens, the odds that this book covers it are incredibly
high, because it's so filled with detail."
One of the most frustrating things an administrator can hear is the user
complaint "my computer won't start." The first chapter of this
comprehensive new volume talks about the various startup problems you may
encounter with your hardware, operating system, or domain server. But
startup is only one area where you might encounter a logon emergency. Maybe
the difficulty lies in the password, the logon script, or perhaps even the
resource access.
Managing Windows NT
Logons even tells you how to manage
workstations and fix problems remotely. Whatever it is, this book is a
useful, to-the-point reference that will help you put out fires quickly and
free up your time to do more important work.
This book covers:
- Lockouts and freezes
- Forced password changes
- Replication and execution problems with the Logon Script
- Local, roaming, and mandatory profiles
- Domains and servers, the Network Neighborhood, and peripherals
- Control of user activity
- Remote administration on NT 4.0 and Win9x workstations
- Command line incantations
