Windows Server 2019 is a popular version of Microsoft's server operating system, available in Standard version and as Essentials, a version designed for organizations with up to 25 employees. However, as with most modern applications it comes with only the most basic of instructions. This book is a succinct installation guide produced from a real-world perspective and written according to the Goldilocks Principle: not too little information, not too much information, but just right. It assumes a reasonable working knowledge of Windows and the basics of networking. It is written in a friendly, “do-it-like-this” style, rather than with undue emphasis on theory and abstract topics. With over 190 illustrations and screenshots, practical examples and clear explanations, it takes you through setting up Windows Server and the Essentials variant in a typical small organisation. Whether you are installing it for the first time, are planning to do so or are just plain curious and learning Windows Server, you will find this proven guide of interest and help. And, with everything in one place, it is the superior alternative to spending many frustrating hours searching the internet for what is sometimes inaccurate or obsolete information.
