5.0 out of 5 stars This book makes sense, July 3, 2001

This review is from: Administrators Guide to Windows 2000 TCP/IP Networks, An (Paperback)

An administrators Guide to Windows 2000 TCP/IP networks is a books that makes sense. It makes sense out of the TCP/IP numbering scheme, and it makes sense out of how to plan your network infrastructure for Windows 2000. If you are confused about DNS (as I was) then it makes sense on how to plan, deploy, and troubleshoot DNS. Not just any old DNS, but Microsoft's Windows 2000 style of DNS - with all the bells and whistles. I.E. Dynamic DNS, Service records and all of the extra stuff that Windows 2000 needs to operate. In addition to helping someone who does this stuff on a day in and day out basis, the book makes a great MCSE study guide. I used it to pass my implementing networking infrastucture exam. I found the explainations to be concise, and the advice to ring true in the real world. If you are running Windows 2000 you should read this book.
