Windows NT user administration - Ashley J. Meggitt

Windows NT User Administration covers everyday problems faced by system
administrators and goes beyond the GUI to describe the tools you need to solve
them.
The book covers the whole spectrum of user management: user security,
user customization, and system resource auditing.
You'll find real-world
examples and many useful Perl scripts to help you keep your system humming.This book is especially useful to administrators working in a large-scale
environment.
The examples are based on the authors' experience in setting up
a user community that is in constant change (the student population of a major
university); you can benefit from what they've learned and begin to automate
tasks that otherwise would take up much of your day.
The authors explain how
to create large numbers of users and restrict their ability to modify the
environment.
Once you have your user community under control, you can use the
Perl scripts in this book to audit activity on your servers and notify you
automatically if anything goes wrong.Many Windows NT books introduce you to a range of topics, but seldom do they
give you enough information to master any one thing.
This book (like other
O'Reilly Animal Guides) is different.
Windows NT User Administration makes
you an expert at creating users efficiently, controlling what they can do,
limiting the damage they can cause, and monitoring their activities on your
system.
Don't simply react to problems; use the techniques in this book to
anticipate and prevent them.
