O'Reilly is putting the finishing touches on my latest book: Windows Server Cookbook.  It is due out March 23rd.  Take a look at the table of contents if you want to see what's in it.  I've started getting the scripts in order and hope to have them (and parallel Perl examples) on this website by the release date.  You can pre-order the book on Amazon now.

I just got a copy of the cover for the book today and I'm happy with how it
turned out:

If you are the observant type, you might have noticed that Mark Russinovichwrote the Foreword for the book.  I use a bunch of Sysinternals tools in the book and thought it would be fitting if Mark wrote the Foreword.  He was nice enough to oblige.  I've always admired Mark's knowledge of the Windows operating system and his uncanny ability to deliver extremely practical sys admin tools.  He's one of those rare people that knows both theory and implementation. He can code and he can troubleshoot.  He can describe low-level operating system constructs and he can create useful tools that make the OS easier to manage.  He's sort of a super-admin.  My goal with Windows Server Cookbook is to impart some of these super-admin qualities to those that don't have a Ph.D in Computer Science.
