Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

With its concise explanations, accurate procedures, and excellent index, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Administrator's Pocket Consultant reminds you how to perform common and moderately obscure Windows NT tasks. It won't teach you how to administer Windows NT if you're starting from zero, but it's superior in its ability to refresh a knowledgeable technician's memory. If you know what you need to find--for example, the command for converting a FAT (file allocation table) volume to NTFS (NT file system)--you'll be able to locate it quickly in this book.

This pocket guide is the next best thing to having memorized every procedural detail of users, security, file systems, and networking. It makes an excellent review guide for the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 exam (70-067). In fact, it's better than many books designed specifically for that purpose.

Microsoft Press put some thought into the physical design of this book and the others in its series. It's compact and has plastic-coated covers, but the binding won't lie flat--you'll have to use weights or clips to keep it open to a particular page while you use both hands on the keyboard. --David Wall

5.0 out of 5 stars Let 'em think your'e a genius, hide this book!, October 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Independent Administration/Support) (Paperback)
I have been in this business since there was a business to be in and I have YET to see a technical reference that cuts to the point as quickly as this one.

Want to set up DNS? Never done it? You can now! And in less than 20 minutes with no specific DNS knowledge!

Any aspect of administring NT servers can be performed in 30 minutes or less!

Control security, Build a better workstation with docked and undocked profiles (THAT REALLY WORK!) and much much more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific!, November 22, 1999
This review is from: Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Independent Administration/Support) (Paperback)
This is a great book with all the essential information for day-to-day NT administration. Its compact size and its cover are simply fantastic. As a result of this book, I am picking up other "Administrator's Pocket Consultant" books for SQL7 and Exchange 5.5 . Does anyone know when the IIS4 Administrator's Pocket Consultant is coming out ..if ever?

2.0 out of 5 stars Wouldn't buy it . . ., May 29, 2001
This review is from: Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Independent Administration/Support) (Paperback)
I read the wonderful reviews this book got and ran to the store to buy it. I run a small school district network and had several real world issue's I was looking for resolution to before purchasing it . . . this book did not help with one.

This might be an OK book to learn the basics (thus the 2 stars), but it has no troubleshooting tips or advanced network issues that gave me any real world help.

Several hours, 3 NT4 books and 2 cell phone calls from my wife asking where I was later, I left with the Windows NT4 Administrators Survival Guide.

These other reviews must have been written by the authors relatives!
