Download or read book Windows Server 2019 Network Installation Guide written by Nicholas Rushton and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-18 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this guide is to take the reader through a typical installation of a small Windows Server 2019 network and is written for the following audiences:*Someone who is new to Windows Server 2019 and installing it for the first time*Someone setting up Windows Server 2019 in a small business setting*Someone wishing to learn the basics of Windows Server 2019 and who wants a succinct, practical guide based on real world scenarios The approach is very much practical and hands on. It should give you a basic understanding of Windows Server and help you setup a network that should meet the needs of a typical small organization such as a business, non-profit, church, school and so on. However, it is not intended as a detailed description of all Window Server's many capabilities or as a reference manual and is not aimed at enterprise installations involving large numbers of servers and techniques such as virtualization. It assumes a reasonable working knowledge of Windows and the basics of networking. It is written in a friendly, "do-it-like-this" style, rather than with undue emphasis on theory and abstract topics.
