Stay Up to Date with My Free Newsletter

Keeping track of Windows administration and security is a job in itself, as it changes so fast. We did our best in this book to get you information that's as up to date as is possible, but remember that we wrote this from the betas, and things can and will change. (Heck, as I write this, no one seems to have any really strong feel for when Vista will ship. But the technologies that we're discussing here will appear in Vista and Server 2007 whether they ship late or early, so the sooner you're acquainted with them, the better.) I don't know if we'll get around to writing a second edition of this, but whether we do or not, why wait for another edition to stay up to date?

So I'm extending the following offer to my readers. Visit my website at http://www.minasi.com and register to receive my free Windows Networking newsletter. It covers everything from NT 4 to 2000 to XP to 2003, Vista and even a little Linux. Every month that I can, I send you a short update on tips and things that I've learned, as well as any significant errata that appear in the book (which I'm praying don't appear). It won't be spam-as the saying goes, "Spammers must die!"-just a short heads-up on whatever I've come across that's new (to me) and interesting about NT, 2000, XP, 2003, or Vista. I've been doing this newsletter since 1999, so you can also peruse the newsletter archives. Past newsletters have also included lengthy articles on running and securing Microsoft's free database servers MSDE and SQL Server Express, DNS troubleshooting, configuring the Indexing Service, and IPSec, so I think you'll find it a worthwhile newsletter for the price.
