Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0 Sourcebook

Michele Petrovsky

Everything you’ll need to know to get the most out of Microsoft’s long-awaited Internet Information Server

Now, with the Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0 Sourcebook, Webmasters and network administrators alike have the best information available on how to install, configure, and customize this latest advance in Web-based technology—all in clear and easy-to-follow language. This invaluable guide first covers the basics of Windows NT and installing, configuring, and troubleshooting Internet Information Server. Then, IIS is broken down and built back up piece-by-piece, with special attention paid to nonstandard installations and Internet Service Manager, IIS’s built-in management tool. There’s in-depth coverage of one of IIS’s most important features, NT-based tools, as well as one of the Web’s most important topics—security. Add-ons, upgrades, ISAPI, Index Server, NetShow, and the latest Web-oriented extensions like db Web and FrontPage 97 are all there, up-front, and ready for action. You’ll also get:
  • Complete coverage of the newest release, Internet Information Server 4.0
  • NT Server from the ground up, from features and constraints to installation and configuration of the NOS
  • A step-by-step explanation of the whole IIS package
  • Mastery of IIS’s unique and powerful WWW, FTP, and Gopher capabilities
  • Special quick-reference appendices for every imaginable topic on both NT Server 4.0 and Internet Server Manager, as well as listings of online and print resources for the latest on IIS
Plus, an extensive glossary that reviews such important terms as 10Base2 and 10BaseT; ethernets, intranets, and the Internet; firewalls; OSI; rights and privileges; routings; TCP/IP; topologies; and much more. Visit our Web site at www.wiley.com/compbooks/
