Overview

"Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Unleashed, 3rd Edition is the first book on the market to cover Windows Server 2003 R2. This latest edition will keep the text viable with the major ""R2"" update being released from Microsoft late in 2005. Many of the Windows Server 2003 titles have not been revised since release in 2003 even though Microsoft has released a service pack and now the R2 update.   This book will provide detailed guidance focused on the most commonly used yet most complicated planning, installation, migration, and problem solving topics that challenge IT professionals. This title goes far beyond the basic installation and setup information found in hundreds of other resources and focus on the less understood yet most important details for system configuration, tips, tricks, and techniques to successfully implement and administer a Windows networking system."

Author Information

Dr. Ian Wedgwood is an Executive Director for SBTI and has over a decade of Lean Sigma Experience. He has both led and facilitated a number of deployments in indus-tries as diverse as electronics, engineered materials, medical devices, chemicals, and healthcare, and has trained and mentored numerous Executives, Champions, and Belts in DFSS, Six Sigma, and Lean. Ian has a strong product development background and co-developed SBTI's Lean Design, Lean Sigma, K-Sigma (accelerated Lean Sigma), and Healthcare methodologies and curricula. Prior to joining SBTI, Ian worked for the global engineering group Invensys PLC (the merger of BTR and Siebe) with some 1200+ sites worldwide. Starting out as Development Manager for BTR Technology Services, based in the United Kingdom, and then progressing to Technical Manager, he led the development of Six Sigma based soft-ware tools and their implementation into BTR's manufacturing sites. As a Program Manager with BTR C&TG he was involved in key Projects within the BTR Group during strategic acquisitions. One such project, building a new 180,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico, brought Ian to the United States where he still lives with his wife, Veronica, and sons Christian and Sean. As a Program Manager for Powerware (part of Invensys' Power Systems Division), Ian led the efforts to lean the Divisions' New Product Development processes. Moving back into a Divisional role, he then led Invensys' highly successful Lean Design for Six Sigma deployment. Some 380+ Design Belts within Power Systems alone yielded a 65 times return in less than two years. He joined SBTI as a Master Consultant in 2001 and SBTI's Leadership Team as its first Executive Director in February 2003. Ian holds a Ph.D. and a First-Class Honors degree in Applied Mathematics from Scotland's St.Andrew's University.
