You should have a look at microsoft press
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/findabook/list/title.asp
for general information.

For specific problems the microsoft knowledge base
http://support.microsoft.com/
will be quite helpful.

Of course there also exist mailing lists and forums and don't 
forget google.

Uli.
