This book is intended primarily for LAN administrators, system programmers, information security staff, and advanced users. Although the main focus of the book will be technical, many facets of Windows NT security involve practicing sound control procedures. As such, much of the book¿s discussion will be pertinent to all three groups. Windows NT/2000 Network Security will also thoroughly cover security-relevant technical issues such as controlling services protocols like Web-services and SMB. The book will be carefully sequenced to delve into technical issues increasingly with each chapter, so that the last half of the book will be more relevant to LAN administrators and system programmers than anyone else – whereas the first half will be equally pertinent to all groups.
