The people at O’Reilly were a joy to work with. I would like to thank Robert Denn for helping me get this book off the ground. I am especially grateful for Andy Oram’s insightful and thought-provoking feedback.

Rick Kingslan ([e-mail]) is a Senior Systems Engineer and Microsoft Windows Server MVP. If you’ve ever posted a question to an Active Directory newsgroup or discussion forum, odds are Rick participated in the thread.

Tony Murray ([e-mail]) is the maintainer of the http://www.ActiveDir.org web site and mailing list, which is one of the premier Active Directory discussion forums. The myriad of questions posed to the list served as inspiration for this book. Tony’s comments and suggestions throughout the book helped tremendously. ...
