5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for NT admins moving toward Win2000, May 22, 2001

This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Directory Services Exam Prep (Exam: 70-217) (Hardcover)

The book is designated to help a reader to prepare for a MCSE test. It is also very useful for an NT administrator moving toward Win2000. The truth is that if there is no Active Directory on a Win 2000 server there is no way to administer Win2000 domain. This very clever book explains the best practices available to administer Win 2000 Server and network. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for anyone pursuing an MCSE certification!, March 22, 2002

This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Directory Services Exam Prep (Exam: 70-217) (Hardcover)

I found this book to be very enlightening in regards to Windows 2000 Directory Services planning and implementation. As an experienced Windows NT 4 administrator, this book may also prove useful for any Network Admin looking to upgrade their system(s) to Microsoft's latest NOS. The only qualm I had, was the fact that this book could have been somewhat more detailed regarding some of the explanations for RIS, DNS, and implementation of group policies. All in all a great book to add to your repertoire.
