Welcome to MCSE Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-299): Implementing and Administering Security in a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network.
Today's networks are constantly under attack by a variety of sources. Worms and viruses are the most common sources of attacks, and because they are constantly evolving, protecting your network against them requires implementing and administering an update management infrastructure. More dangerous attacks are launched by malicious, skilled individuals and require more complex countermeasures. Microsoft Windows Server 2003 provides a variety of methods to protect your network against these threats, including Active Directory directory services, Certificate Services, and IP Security (IPSec). Implementing and administering each of these requires specialized skills that will be taught in this book. The skills you acquire will also enable you to complete the exam 70-299.
Each chapter addresses an important aspect of network security management and a range of exam objectives. The goal of both the objectives and the chapter orientation is to provide a complete guide to Microsoft Windows-based network security management. The book focuses primarily on the skills necessary to implement and administer a network security infrastructure and only briefly covers concepts related to designing network security.
