Converting from Novell to Microsoft

The good news is that I just accepted a position as IT Director of a small business that runs Microsoft Server 2003. The bad news is that I’m a Novell CNE, and while I have lots of experience with NewWare, I have none with Win 2K3 and AD.

Can anyone please help me find the quickest way to learn the Microsoft environment? (Especially the difference between AD and NDS – and group policies).

What books and/or other resources can you recommend?

Thank you,
TK
