Recommendations for qucik learning

Can someone recommend some resources for the "quickest possible" ramp-up
learning of Windows 2000 Advanced Server? Books, seminars, classes - all
suggestions welcome. The most important criterion is lots of learning in a
short period of time.

I don't need to be a guru (not yet, anyway); I just need to know how to do
some basic things regarding local and remote sharing, security, and some
other essentials. I have a good computer background, programming various
languages and platforms for 20 years, but relatively little network admin
experience.

Thanks!
