Review
If you are interested in seeing what NT can do for you and want the basic "how-to's" without the cartoons and excess verbiage then this book is for you. -- PC Chronicles, May 1998

5.0 out of 5 stars
Respects both your time and your intelligence.,

This review is from: The No B.S. Guide to Windows NT 4.0 (Paperback)
This review is short and sweet, just like Forkner's book. In computer books, less IS more. Forkner does two things especially well here: he tells you just what you need to know, and then he tells you why you need to know it. When you care, you remember. Forkner's is a seasoned insider's view, served up with genuine enthusiasm for networks in general and NT in particular. He understands that setting up and administering computers is not only algorithmic (like a recipe); it's also holistic (like chess or psychiatry). Because concepts last longer than technology, I found this book still quite useful when setting up Windows 2000 Server.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Very good no-nonsense beginner's guide,

This review is from: The No B.S. Guide to Windows NT 4.0 (Paperback)
I have bought several WindowsNt books on how to help set it up as a server and this is the book I turn to first; if I need more detail I then check out my WindowsNT Resource book - thick as a phonebook and tedious reading. I gave only 3 stars because of this book's lighter format, but weighing it on its own merits and its design goals it deserves 4.5
