Best Books for Windows Server 2008 Basics to Intermediate

Hello, everyone. I'm looking for a book (or books) that touch on everything related to Windows 2008 servers. From file/directory access rights, DNS, etc., etc. keeping someone with limited experience in mind. Just looking for any opinions on what you think is the best book (or books) out there.

As of now, I'm not interested in getting certified in 2008, but at some point down the road when I think I've reached the advanced stage.

Thanks in advance for all helpful suggestions.

I've also started to do some reading on windows server 2008/2012 and I've found this book to be very detailed/helpful Windows Server 2008 R2 Unleashed ( Windows Server 2008 R2 Unleashed: Rand Morimoto, Michael Noel, Omar Droubi, Ross Mistry, Chris Amaris: 9780672330926: Amazon.com: Books) I'm mixing the reading with some labbing and watching YouTube videos.

Youtube is another good route that I didn't think of. Thanks for the input.
