Sybex Mastering Windows 2000 server
Good, balanced book. Not a cheerleader like some other books I looked at. More comprehensive than others as well.
One book on 2000 security I looked at discussed only Active directory security components, since my network doesn't use Active Directory, that book was worse than useless to me.
Should mention IIs vulnerabilities
Chapter 2 has good basic info for newbies, and better still is explained well and succinctly. Very good.
