Wiley Administering Windows Vista Security: The Big Surprises 978-0-470-10832-1 사용자 설명서

 

Much of this book shows you how Vista’s new big security technologies work, how they’ll 
affect you, and where you can control them. This chapter, however, doesn’t hit the big stuff; 
instead, in this chapter I want to introduce you to a bunch of changes in Vista that are fairly 
significant, but not obvious…until you run up against the kind of strange, unexpected, or puz-
zling behavior that I’ve come to think of as “Vysteries.” Now, you might think “hey, if this 
is a potpourri of small Vista administration and security surprises, why not put it at the 

 

 

of the book?” I thought about that but realized that if you 

 

 want to fire up a copy of Vista 

and work through some of the things we cover in the rest of the book, then you might find 
yourself more aggravated from tripping over the small brambles at your feet than from trying 
to scale the high towers of User Account Control internals and the like—so the first chapter 
seemed a practical place to put these items.

But let me stress that these aren’t all 

 

 surprises. All I’m trying to do in this chapter is give 

you a quick heads-up about things that I feel have changed most significantly administration-
wise, particularly from a security point of view, with a view to highlighting the not-so-well-
publicized changes. That way, you can decide best where to spend your time in Windows new 
doodads. (In addition, I’m hoping to show you these things before some client mentions it in 
a meeting. Don’t you just hate 

 

 kinds of surprises?) These aren’t in any particular order; 

it is, again, a potpourri.

Because, as I mentioned in the Introduction, I’m trying to keep this short and because I’m 

working from pre-release versions of Vista, I’ll assume that you’ve already figured out how to 
get Vista up and running in at least a minimal manner on a test system or two. That way, we 
can move right along to the surprises.

 

Restoring the Administrator

 

You go to log onto Vista for the first time, and want to log on as the Administrator, just as you 
always have. But there’s this hitch because, well, there doesn’t seem to 

 

 an Administrator 

account anymore. Arrgh.
