I like the books by Syngress, but if you want something light then I guess Server for Dummies might work.

I have Mark Manasi's Windows 2000 Server book, but it's in the 70,000 page 60lb category.

The problem is, the topic doesn't lend itself to 100 page pocket sized books.

Peter Norton's "Complete Guide to Windows 2000 Server" is a pretty good place to start. It's what I used when I first migrated my server to Win2K, and it's where I still go when in doubt. Also, "MCSE Training Kit–Microsoft Windows 2000 Server" from Microsoft Press is a great resource.

When you get sick of the dummies guides you can always grab a copy of "Inside Windows2000"... and learn about context changes, afinity, spin locks, and other neat things.
