5.0 out of 5 stars Great RESOURCE Guide with super flow charts !!!!
*This resource guide has supplied me with addl knowledge due to its great content and well documented charts.

*Must buy for an SMS Admin

It appears that some admins in this review area have bought it *thinking* its a "How to admin SMS" book ... not so. It is meant for SMS Admins that want to know the in-depth components of SMS and "how it all...

This book does not claim to be a tutorial on administering SMS. It is not a study guide, it is a resource kit, ie. toolbox. A collection of utilities to expand the functionality of the SMS product with accompanying documentation of these tools. Do not buy this book with the expectations of passing any exams.

*Must buy for an SMS Admin

It appears that some admins in this review area have bought it *thinking* its a "How to admin SMS" book ... not so. It is meant for SMS Admins that want to know the in-depth components of SMS and "how it all works".

If your seeking to learn SMS grab the SMS 2.0 self training, which I feel is much better that the "Average Training Center" ATEC. SMS is a specialty and there aren't many trainers that have alot of exposure to it in production.

2.0 out of 5 stars a poor example of an admin book, February 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 Resource Guide (IT Professional) (Paperback)
This book leaves a lot to be desired with regards to the technical aspects of SMS administration. From M$ Press. Way to go, Bill.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just waste of money on SMS 2.0 subject, April 16, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 Resource Guide (IT Professional) (Paperback)
This book doesn't cover well many SMS Admin aspects. Consider Sybex or IDG books on SMS 2.0 as an alternative to this one.
