Hello all, I have a company that repairs computers on the side and I do some networking and server maintenance. However, I have a new account where they have a pretty big setup off of a server running 2003. I wasn't looking to take on such an account but this guy is so pissed at his other IT person he has begged me to give it a shot so he can fire the guy. I hate the fact the guy is going to get fired but he has done some pretty shadey stuff. Anyways, being in a very rural area, I am the only other option and while I am comfortable working on Server 2003 I know I have much more to learn about it. Can anyone suggest some good reading that will help me get caught up to speed for this guy? I am SWE Major and am just fixing computers on the side for extra cash, now I need to learn how to be a Network Security Guy. :)

Agreed, but it never hurts to read of already solved problems.
