Release NotesWhether you're a system administrator responsible for hundreds of Windows
clients, or a just a roomful of computers, this book will help you install,
configure, and maintain Microsoft's newest OS. Written in jargon-free English
that puts concepts in proper context, the book gives you a better understanding
of Vista's innovations and capabilities, teaches you how to leverage Vista to
increase worker productivity, and demonstrates how the system can best protect
sensitive data.

Best of all, Windows Vista Administration: The Definitive Guide is a
problem-solving reference that lets you quickly access the solutions you need,
and helps you unlock certain features to improve system performance -- without
forcing you to page through the entire book.

In part, the book's topics include:
-A tour of what's new -- including the Aero user interface, Sidebar, BitLocker
Drive Encryption, Vista Search -An overview of all five versions of Windows
Vista
-Getting started -- with workgroup networks, user profiles, VPN connections
-Personalizing Vista -- with virtual folders, Flip 3D, the new Control Panel
-Working with software and hardware -- such as installing printers, storage
devices, software
-Configuring Internet Explorer 7 -- phishing filters, cookies and privacy, popup
blocker, RSS feeds
-Deploying Windows Vista -- installation, imaging software, modules, migrating
data
-Optimizing performance -- memory, processor, disks, applications, network,
command line administration
-Security -- auditing, disk quotas, account policies, user rights, group rights,
IP security
-Troubleshooting tips -- Startup repair tool, frozen applications, remote
assistance, backup and restore

And that just scratches the surface. Which new features will significantly
improve the operating system experience, and which are mere eye candy? What new
features make Windows Vista worth the investment? Author Brian Culp supplies the
answers with information-packed chapters, including one on Cool Vista Tricks
that explains how to write your own gadgets for Sidebar, how to disable IM and
email notifications using Vista Presenter, and a lot more.
