5.0 out of 5 stars Well written for net admins, November 17, 2008

By	MCT "MCT" (Balt, MD) - See all my reviews

This text is well written. However, it is written for an experienced network administrator. The author freely admits that he is only covering the new features of 2008 server; therefore, although this is a good book, it is not for the beginning student.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for Admins and Scholars, May 29, 2009

By	Brian Mellor "stellarmellor" (Norfolk,VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mostly got this book for a class, but am finding it to get specific in details. Allot of times, I have to reread something because I get lost. Book is an excellent keeper for any administrator.
