 "If you're a systems-level 32-bit or 64-bit Windows developer, whether using the Windows API directly or via .NET interop, you'll definitely want to take a look at this update to Johnson Hart's well-respected and well-loved book. Johnson starts with Windows history and cultural issues and moves through basic and advanced system services in a thoughtful, thorough manner. If Mr. Rogers wrote a book with David Cutler, this is what they'd come up with."
—Chris Sells, Longhorn Content Strategist,

"While focusing on UNIX developers that are looking to augment their skills or simply jump ship, Windows System Programming, Third Edition is a book that even some seasoned systems-level Windows developers will undoubtedly find useful. This is not your average bland GUI treatise; Hart takes you down to the metal, explains all the relevant concepts clearly and in-depth, and gives you an extensive library of high-quality code examples that can be easily adapted for your own larger applications. Even if you've created server applications before, Windows System Programming will teach you new tricks, shed new light on concepts you thought you'd mastered, and offer new strategies for creating robust and secure solutions."
—Klaus H. Probst, Senior Architect,
Spherion Technology Services; Microsoft MVP  As long as networks of Microsoft Windows systems are managed, administered,
and used by people, security incidents will occur. Windows systems are highly
pervasive throughout the entire computing infrastructure, from home and school
systems, to high-end e-commerce sites. In contrast to this pervasiveness, information
regarding conducting effective incident response and forensic audit activities
on Windows systems is limited. While there are many security books available,
none focus specifically on Windows security. There are also resources available
online, but they are scattered and often too general. This book is a compilation
of all the information currently available on this subject. It is for anyone
who manages or administers Windows systems (including home users) and needs
to know how to react when they suspect that an incident has occurred. It guides
the reader through information, tools, and techniques that are required to conduct
incident response or a live forensics audit activities. By providing the necessary
background for understanding how incidents occur and how data can be hidden
on compromised systems, the reader will have a better understanding of the "whys"
and "hows" of incident response and forensic audit activities. It
is important to note that regulatory issues are also pushing organizations toward
better security and incident preparedness policies.  This practical, pocket-sized reference delivers ready answers for using Microsoft Windows command-line tools to manage multiple clients and servers. It’s packed with hundreds of examples that show you how to run, use, schedule, and script Windows commands, support tools, and Resource Kit tools—without ever touching the GUI. Written by a well-known author of more than two dozen computer books—and featuring easy-to-read tables, lists, and step-by step instructions—this POCKET CONSULANT delivers fast, accurate information on the spot.

Microsoft’s exam 70-270, “Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Professional” is a core requirement for the MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) on Microsoft Windows 2000 and MCSA (Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator) on Microsoft Windows 2000 certifications. It is designed for candidates who “operate in medium to very large computing environments that use Microsoft Windows XP Professional as a desktop operating system.” There is no specific prerequisite for this exam but Microsoft recommends that candidates have “a minimum of one year experience implementing and administering any desktop operating system in a network environment.”
