David fell in love with Small and Medium Business when he was given responsibility for engaging with journalists, at the time of the launch of Small Business Server 2003, in the UK. He has also written Small Business Server 2008 Installation, Migration and Configuration. For the next four years, David was responsible for improving SBS deliveries by Microsoft partners. David has since moved on to other roles within Microsoft but still continues work with a number of small and medium businesses and Microsoft partners. David's role at Microsoft includes working with organizations that are moving towards cloud-based computing models. He personally became involved with the Windows Intune product, as a result. Working with both the UK and US teams, in his role there, has lead to the writing of this book. Besides his day job, David is also a writer; he has written for consumer publications and Windows XP and Windows Vista magazines, and he blogs at http://davidoverton.com, where he helps readers fi nd solutions to questions and problems. In 2009, David published his fi rst book on SBS 2008, which was well received. When not working or writing, David likes to spend time with his family and also tries to fi t in sailing, at any time of the year, in any weather. Acknowledgement I would like to thank all those around me who have inspired me to undertake another book to help others. My wife and daughters are incredibly generous with what would be our time together, allowing me to borrow it to write. My father, who is always asking me why things do and don't work and what can be done to fix them. Friends and colleagues have provided feedback, honestly, that has helped shape the book with their insight and differing opinions, enabling it to answer more questions and provide more useful insight. Finally, I want to thank and remember my mum. She taught me to chase my dreams, no matter how diffi cult they may be. My mum got to see my fi rst book published and to see this one start, but was not there, in the end, to see this book arrive in its fi nished form. I hope she looks down at me from wherever she is and is as proud of me as I am of her. I will miss you, mum, and your support for my projects, such as this book. For this reason, I dedicate this book to you, for all the love, knowledge, and strength you have given me.
