Excellent reference for those making the transition from web-developer to administrator. With limited server administration experience, I found the examples easy to understand and perform. The step-by-step instructions on topics such as scripting languages, server configuration, and site development were the best I've seen. A "must have" guide for the novice IIS 4.0 administrator.

Wyatt provides a reference that is across the board in terms of technical knowledge. Having been given the challenge of tying our in-house databases as an auxiliary website to our .com site, I found this book to hold most of the answers. He goes into step-by-step detail in many areas, but falls a little short of giving readers a broad view of applying the principles. A great reference that finds its way off the shelf and onto my desk a lot!

After reading this book, it is obvious to me the this author is highly competent technically, and also a very skillful writer.

If you ingnore the title, then I feel that this is a well written and informative book.

Unfortunately, I feel it had very little to do with IIS administration. The cover declares it to be a "COMPREHENSIVE REFERENCE", don't believe it.

This book is a very good introduction to web page design, with chapters on Frontpage 98 and Visual Interdev, while IIS installation is relegated to a mere appendix.

More than the first half of the book chapters are classed into categories such as "Developing Basic Web Site Content", etc. , and while it may be useful to many IIS admins who also happen to develop their site. It is not in my opinion, what IIS Admininstration is all about.

This book is a complete reference on IIS. From the start it takes you through IIS in a very readable form, and has all of the infofrmation needed for the beginner to the advanced IIS admin. A good book, buy it!

This book is an outstanding IIS reference book. It covers the important details of IIS 4 in a manner that allows a system administrator to get the information he needs without reading the entire book. It's coverage of database programming with IIS is the best I've seen.
