Chapter 16 -- Configuring Storage

[Previous] [Next]

Chapter 16

This chapter covers the following advanced Microsoft Windows 2000 storage tools: the Distributed file system, Removable Storage, and Remote Storage. The chapter also explains how to set up shared folders on a corporate network or on the Internet. While many books combine file sharing and removable storage with the discussion of local storage management, Windows 2000 provides enough new functionality to warrant a whole chapter to cover these subjects separately.

In Windows 2000, both file sharing and removable storage have become simpler for the end user. And while the associated administrative chores have been streamlined, file sharing and removable storage are now more complex to administer because the capabilities of once-simple technologies have grown.
