I'm looking to pick up something to help me learn Windows Server 2003. I'd like to set up a domain controller with Active Directory on my home network, complete with Roaming Profiles, group policies, etc.
I will eventually transition into Server 2008R2 eventually but Ive got some hardware that came with Server 2003 on it so I'd like to start there, A lot of the servers where I work are still running 2k3 anyway so it seemed like there's still some good in learning it.
I'm looking for a good start to some training material but there are about eleventy-billion books, sites, etc. out there so I wanted to get some advice from learned individuals on the best place to start.
Edit for clarity: I've got a box running Server 2003. With a hidden recovery pertition and everything. So I DON'T need to run this on a VM of any kind. The machine has 4x ethernet ports so it's ready to go.
Thanks,
Shane
