5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the only win2k server reference you need, July 10, 2000

This review is from: Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Administrator's Companion (IT-Administrator's Companion) (Paperback)

This book should be kept in the server room by every win2k server administrator. (Then carry the "windows 2000 pocket consultant" with you when you move around.) Everything you want to know about the workings of Windows 2000 Server is in here. The coverage on Active Directory is the best I've seen so far. The sections on Internet setup is also excellent and easy to follow. Although I think the index can be improved, information is quite easy to find.

If you work with win2k server, this is definitely worth getting. If only Microsoft includes this with the software package...

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most complete references about Windows 2000, April 4, 2001

This review is from: Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Administrator's Companion (IT-Administrator's Companion) (Paperback)

This book is one of the most complete Windows 2000 books you could find. I read this book from cover to cover and is a great book to have as a complete Windows 2000 Server reference. Not full on every aspects (if you are looking for clustering configuration, this is not the book to purchase). It covers DHCP, WINS, DNS, Active Directory, Internet Information Services...and the rest of the Windows 2000 features very well. A very thick book, but worth the time.

This review is from: Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Administrator's Companion (IT-Administrator's Companion) (Paperback)

As an MCSE (NT4) I'm gearing up to deploy and recertify on WIN2K. This book gives a very thorough description of the O/S including migration and implementation strategies. It also is a very good reference book, which is very important. This is my 3rd WIN2K book and it is by far the best. Loaded with information, I strongly encourage you to check out this book.
