Acknowledgments

---

We sincerely want to thank the indefatigable Windows Small Business Server MVPs who provided much help and insight—especially Susan Bradley, who made it her business to find answers for us. Thanks also to John Buscher, the Microsoft MVP Lead for Windows Small Business Server.

Jason Gerend would like to thank Ray Fong and David Copeland at Microsoft Windows Small Business Server Product Support Services for their incredible technical acumen and tireless help, especially with 802.1X authentication and L2TP VPN configuration. Thanks also to Liem Nguyen at Dell for generously providing the use of a Dell PowerEdge 1600SC server. Also Amy Martin at Proxim and Anna-Marie Claassen at D-Link Systems for providing WiFi hardware for 802.1X authentication testing.

And all three of us appreciate the great work done by the folks at Microsoft Press, especially Project Editor Karen Szall and Product Planner Martin DelRe, who contributed so much to the pleasures of writing this book and added nothing to the grief level. There is no higher tribute.

Many thanks to Robert Lyon, Technical Editor; Victoria Thulman, Copyeditor; Seth Maislin, Indexer; and to the fine production people who helped produce this book.

As always, we thank past collaborators Rudolph S. Langer and David J. Clark, both gentlemen and scholars.
