5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on Performance Monitor, February 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Optimizing Windows NTŪ (Paperback)

I work in Technical Support for a major backup software vendor. I love this book. It points out the same thing I point out to customers. Make sure your hardware is set right then you can check NT. Also great advice on NT Performance Monitor. Put this book on your NT troubleshooting shopping list. P.S. I bought the book alone from reading the same author's articles from Windows NT magazine, he had the same great straight forward info. Keep up the great work Sean.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitively a reference on the subject, March 30, 1999

By 

Jean Maurice MEREL - See all my reviews

This review is from: Optimizing Windows NTŪ (Paperback)

It covers its subjects very well. It gives clear and useful explanations on available technologies and of what to do with it. Certainly too long to be read from beginning to the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars The NT systems book to always have nearby!, July 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Optimizing Windows NTŪ (Paperback)

Sean Daily has provided a book that picks up where my MCSE training left off. He covers the basics and then dives into optimization of NT systems. He also covers maintaining systems and troubleshooting/recovery techniques providing systems administrators with 'beeper insurance'. The included CD contains many useful resources and demo programs.
