Let's see what we have here:

Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional

Designing Security for a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network

Supporting Users and Troubleshooting a Microsoft® Windows® XP Operating System

..I don't see "Giving Steve Balmer Rim Jobs Using Windows XP Networking"

[KN]

That's "Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Infrastructure". It's in there, see?

So "putting the disc in", "taking it out again", and "advanced ctrl-alt-del techniques", then? I assume "switching it off and on again" was covered in an earlier course? ;P

Naw, those and "how to torture the end user" are pre-required skills.

PS: One book explicitly says that other than restrictions in domain group policy and education, one could teach users the importance of security through "persuasion or threats, and force if necessary", except it's put slightly more vague. I am not making this up, srsly. I'll screenshot the PDF later.

I know. "quaint" is how I'd describe the official study material (from 2003, jesus christ).

I just wanted to know how stuff works. Best practices be damned.

For the most part it's designed so that any system that runs TCP/IP can become part of the network as long as an admin lets it in, though the better way to design user accounts is so that you have a single domain-wide login. From there you create custom groups that determine access level, from "I can do almost anything" office-level quick-fixers, to "I have a glorified typewriter because I'm an idiot" users. And Win2k3 server is built so that everything is easily expandable. Sharepoint Portal Server, for example, can start as a single-box server, but can be expanded so it has the core on one box, an SQL farm on others, and so on.
