Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. In addition, certain terms are used within this book. As there are no universal unique meanings to them, the most important terms are explained within the next paragraph. After that, examples are provided of the styles used and an explanation of their meaning.

The following are some terms used in the book:

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The provided path is the default one; please modify it for your configuration. On the destination system, start the LocalGPO.msi file."

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

set /a x=1
:Start
net use o: \\<Name of a monitored Domain Controller\c$ /User:Administrator hjghkgkjhgkjg
set /a x=%x%+1
if %x% NEQ 20 goto Start

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Click on the Star button next to the Active Directory Containers label."
