This chapter assumes that you have at least 18 months of experience working with Windows 2000 in environments that include Active Directory, and that you are comfortable working with common administrative tools and utilities. If you intend to complete the hands-on practice exercises in this chapter, you should have the following prepared:

• One Windows Server 2003 (Standard or Enterprise Edition) system installed as Server01. It is not required to be part of a domain.

• Access to the server using the built-in Administrator account or another account that is part of the Administrators local group.
