Today's system administrators and information management professionals find that they must be familiar with both UNIX and Windows NT and capable of managing their interaction and coexistence. Williams and Gardner's book focuses on the three specific areas of interaction administrators must understand to be successful: coexistence, in which UNIX and Windows NT cooperate and have common methods of maintenance; integration, referring to true operating systems interoperability; and migration, primarily the movement from UNIX to Windows NT.
