You??™ll still find plenty to interest you.
I recommend that you set up the hardware required for a two-machine network as part of your
test setup. Otherwise, you really won??™t see how some of the client-side tasks are supposed to work.
Remember that Server Core isn??™t a resource hog, so you may find that you don??™t need nearly as
much machine as you think to get a working installation. In fact, that old server sitting in a corner
of your office may actually do the job??”try it out and see.
The book contains descriptions of numerous utilities that you can download and use free for the
most part. You may prefer other utilities, but I used these utilities to create the content for the book.
If you find a technique useful, trying downloading the utility that goes with it and try it too. I??™m
always on the lookout for new utilities, so please be sure to tell me about your Server Core utilities
