1.0 out of 5 stars There should be jail time for these kind of writers, August 23, 2001

By

This review is from: Microsoft IIS 5 Administration (Paperback)

Yeah, great book IF you already know all this stuff. As a technical writer by profession I would use this book as a first draft to begin to create an understandible presentation of IIS. This is filled with ambiguity unless you know IT administration from way back...For example, the author romps through setting up a website using a wizard. Fine. But "hello!" am I supposed to know what the permissions are that I am setting up? For whom? For the website visitor or the FrontPage author, or what??? As it turned out I was locking the pages from editing by any FrontPage users. Great.

Yeah, a fine book for the inner cult. But no concept that someone might be setting up a dedicated server as a "mom and pop" ISP. I finally punted and called Microsoft... We finally figured out the problems and I can guarantee you it was nothing that this book could have helped with... The only thing worse than confusing software is ambiguous technical writing about it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disapponited, January 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft IIS 5 Administration (Paperback)

I bought the book because of the 4.5+ rating on Amazon. But this book is a complete waste of money, it lacks any in-depth stuff needed by a professional, the author does not seem to have the calibre to write something which is really beyond the obvious, all he seems to know is some VB stuff.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very slight book, November 16, 2000

This review is from: Microsoft IIS 5 Administration (Paperback)

I bought this book with hope to undendstand changes came from IIS4, especially Component Services(former MTS) I wondered that this important topic absolutely is not covered in the book, but instead of that a lot of space is wasted for ASP beginners. Very slight book.
