*Troubleshooting tips, like how to install Recovery Console and configure Dr. Watson.
From the Author
The command-line has always been a point of frustration for power users, administrators and developers. Whether we like it or not, we usually have to use the command-line several times a day to perform some task. Often this is done through trial and error, trying to get the syntax just right. And the thing that's even more frustrating is when you try to get help on the command and find that more often than not the help information is incorrect or just doesn't work as you expected. I've gone through this and I understand--which is why I wrote this book. My goal was to create an easy to use reference that has everything needed to complete tasks quickly and efficiently. I hope I've succeeded, but ultimately, you'll be the judge.

William R. Stanek (www.williamstanek.com) lived in Japan from 1985 to 1989. He traveled extensively and made many friends. While living in Japan, he spent much of his free time in Aomori (青森), Hachinohe (八戸), Misawa (三沢), and Tokyo (東京). He misses the wonderful food and drink and the good friends he made. He says, "On break, I traveled all over. On the island of Hokkaidô in Sapporo they have these wonderful Ice Festivals. My favorite thing about spring was the Cherry Blossom Festival. I'd take day trips to Aomori (青森) and Hachinohe (八戸) all the time. While in Japan, I studied kendo, the Japanese language, and Buddhism."
William lived in Europe from 1989 to 1991. During that time, he lived in Germany (mostly) and had several extended stays in the UK and Scotland including deployments to Mildenhall, UK.

Wouldn't Be Without It,

This review is from: Essential Reference Windows 2000 Commands (Paperback)
I cannot imagine not having this great little book around. Even in these days of Vista, I still find many uses, and learn new stuff, from it. A must-have for any administrator, or anyone just wanting to get more from the command line (yes, it still exists). ;-)
5.0 out of 5 stars
Well organized, easy to use, good details!,
This review is from: Essential Reference Windows 2000 Commands (Paperback)
I've been looking for a Windows 2000 reference for awhile. The O'Reilly Pocket Reference wasn't very useful, in fact that book was pretty useless. I was glad when I found this book. The Essential Windows 2000 Commands Ref is very easy to use and it has a great organization that makes looking up anything a snap. I also liked the way the book lists command usage and it was a hallaluyah moment when I found I was able to set the book on the desk top and still read everything-- no squinting to see tiny print or wondering what the heck the code examples said.

This review is from: Essential Reference Windows 2000 Commands (Paperback)
I'm not sure what the problem is with its O'Reilly counterpart which was mentioned in another review. I use other books by both authors and they all serve me well. In this book I really like the listings by name and by task, and that I don't need stronger glasses to read it. But I find the Frisch book more useful. It's half the price, has more commands, and labels the resource kit commands. It's organized into task types, and generally the information in the O'Reilly book is considerably more useful in an admin setting.
