This book is very rich and delves deep under the hood into Windows technologies in regards to security. Some warnings for novice readers, there'll walkthroughs of graphical wizards, and this book is not for the light-hearted; it will require some basic understanding of technologies like Kerberos. Though if this is not a problem, this has clear explanations that will illuminate the inner secrets of Windows infrastructure without the need to be a rocket scientist for understanding.

Some parts that I really much appreciated were scenarios about Windows interoperability. In particular, De Clerq detailed methods to integrate LDAP-Kerberos single-sign-on solutions with a Windows domain controller, or with Kerberos cross-realm trust. He should the various freeware solutions, but also delved into Vintella's (now own by Quest) solutions, and later touched on SAMBA's Active Directory integration. Additionally, he details how much in the way of standards Microsoft implements, and what proprietary additions Microsoft adds to Kerberos.
