During his seven years as Principal Systems Architect at BBN/Genuity, he was ultimately responsible for the reliability and security of hundreds of Windows– based servers and dozens of Windows domains—all connected directly to the Internet. Needless to say, Tony learned the hard way how to keep Windows systems safe in a hostile environment. Tony has authored and co-authored many books on Windows and networking, from NT Network Plumbing in 1998 to the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Performance and Troubleshooting Guide. Tony has also written several papers for Microsoft TechNet, covering firewalls, ASP.NET, and other security topics. Orin Thomas is a writer, editor, and systems administrator who works for the certifica­ tion advice Web site Certtutor.net. His work in IT has been varied: he’s done everything from providing first-level networking support to acting in the role of systems adminis­ trator for one of Australia’s largest companies. He was co-author of the MCSA/MCSE self-paced training kit for Exam 70-290 and co-editor of the MCSA/MCSE self-paced training kits for exams 70-292 and 70-296, both by Microsoft Press. He holds the MCSE, CCNA, CCDA, and Linux+ certifications. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Science with honors from the University of Melbourne and is currently working toward the comple­ tion of a PhD in Philosophy of Science. iii Contents Acknowledgments .
