Hits the mark on Cisco and Win2k networking,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cisco Internetworking with Windows NT & 2000 (Paperback)
When I first saw this book, I was also hoping it would be all it looked like it could be. I was happy to find out that it covered the subjects of Cisco and Windows (NT/2000) networking very well. I have both a Microsoft NT (MCSE) and Cisco (CCNA) background and consider myself well versed in the networking area in general. I found areas in the book that were suitable for folks with less experience and areas that gave me the info I was not able to find elsewhere. Well put together and a good read for those looking to fill in the gaps between (legacy to latest advancements from) Cisco and Microsoft. I highly recommend it.

No other book like it - incredible !,
This review is from: Cisco Internetworking with Windows NT & 2000 (Paperback)
This is one book I never thought I'd see, an in depth guide to integrating Cisco (and other technologies) with WIN 2000. All the tools, tricks, and specific foundations are discussed. This book also explains how to best install and use all of those Cisco software tools so that you can get the max from your network. W2K is covered, including active directory and what it means to your network. An amazing combination of technologies and an amazing book to explain it all.

Nothing Groundbreaking Here; Decent Read,
This review is from: Cisco Internetworking with Windows NT & 2000 (Paperback)
As a CCNA and UNIX/VMS systems manager recently thrown into Windows 2000/NT administration, I really, *really* wanted this book to be good. In some ways, it was decent -- it helped clarified some Active Directory concepts and new Windows 2000 features.What this book did not do is offer me any ground-breaking information on integrating Cisco routers into a Windows NT/2000 environment. The authors do provide some Cisco router configuration information (targetted at beginners and novices). Unfortunately, this information was very light-weight for me. The text often makes the mistake of presuming that the reader has a solid understanding of NT 4.0 domains/administration. Windows 2000 functionality is constantly described with Windows NT 4.0 terminology. Many network engineers do not have experience in NT 4.0 domain management and will find this to be tedious. This book really is a consolidation of what could be two different books: "Introduction to Cisco Routers", and "Windows 2000 Networking Concepts for Windows NT 4.0 Administrators" If you're looking to find any advanced technical tips on how to take advantage of W2K/WNT functionality in Cisco routers, you won't find them in this book. The Cisco stuff is beginner material that every network engineer who works with Cisco routers should know. This book would probably be most appropriate to the NT 4.0 administrator who is looking to sharpen his or her router skills and learn a little bit more about upgrading to Windows 2000.
