Free Thor's Microsoft Security Bible: A Collection of Practical Security Techniques
I completed the book last week and recommend it to anyone who works with Windows Server 2008. This isn't your typical bible, the author explains everything that he does and he uses examples throughout the entire book. Each project has parts that could be applied to a lot of the things a system administrator would do on a daily basis. The author's expert knowledge of Server 2008 shines through and he explains many hard topics without issues. I did have a couple of issues, but not with the content (per say).
1. Chapter 5 should have been Chapter 1
2. The media should be at the end of the book not in the middle of it
3. Screen shots should have been better organized (there are a lot, which is good, but sometimes you are referring to one several pages ahead)
Highly recommend this book!

The book's particular strength is that it focuses on the fundamentals. The author hits on a profound truth early in the book, that all of information security ultimately comes down to the two timeless principles of least privilege and separation of duties - everything else flows from those two. The book is all about getting those two things right in a variety of real-world scenarios.
The author hit a really nice spot in terms of the balance between step-by-step instructions and high-level guidance. This isn't one of those books that just walks you through the dialog boxes and tells you what they mean, nor does it do a lot of hand-waving. It lays out the scenario, identifies the security-critical points, and shows exactly how to implement the solution. (In fact, in several scenarios, the book provides several alternatives for solving the problem in multiple ways, progressing from min bar to really robust).
The scenarios are very practical and span multiple technologies. For instance, the first scenario is about how to implement proxy logging and blocking using TMG and SQL, which creates a nice opportunity to tackle everything from the authentication options to scripting group membership changes. Great book for anyone, but especially for practitioners.
