About The Book: Administering Windows Vista Security: The Big Surprises is a short, just-in-time explanation of two things. First, it tells the current Windows expert how to get around the administrative tools, which are all still there, but have been scattered to the four corners of the desktop. Second, and more important, it covers the handful of things in Vista that are not only new, but completely alien to anyone who knows pre-Vista Windows in depth. What current Windows experts will find appealing about this volume is that it is not a wide-spectrum survey of Vista: It covers only the biggest security pain points for someone faced with quickly understanding Vista from a technical support point of view. This book is part of the Mark Minasi Windows Administrator Library series.
