I was a completely newby to IIS and Web Servers. In this book I found a clear and complete path to follow in order to learn the technology beyond this product and, most important to me, to have IIS run the way I needed it.

Those who is using IIS: forget the other books! This is it -- it also explains the little things which I never could get a straight answer from the "professionals" such as the fundamentals of networking and how the Internet work.

The book was written in a concise and clear manner. Plenty of examples, and explanations.

The only minus: The info on the Index Server is rather sparse but the author acknowledges this fact and recommends that one should play around with the example script.

This book is several times better than the other two books I bought for IIS. I would like to give a six stars if I can.

If I need to pick something to improve, it will be Chap 18 Transactional ASP, If it will go through more detail about the Transaction concept and MTS ,then it will be great.

Great book for IIS administrators. Steps you through the basics and into the EXTREMELY Advanced and has everything you need to be a successful IIS administrator.

I wasn't able to find all of the answers I needed, but there wasn't much that wasn't answered. The coverage of CGI is a little thin, but pretty much expected given the size and scope of the book.

Since becoming a network manager I have found that IIS is a necessary part of every NT network and with little exposure to the applications associated with IIS my job was a lot tougher than I thought it was going to be.

This book is good for information about install and configuring IIS, monitoring and the monitoring tools, overview of the Index, FTP, news, mail and transaction servers. Also there is good coverage of security and security issues.

Another section of the book covers topics like Internet application server, ASP, scripting and working with the application associated with IIS. What I found missing or shortchanged was the troubleshooting of the IIS and the errors that you get.

It is pretty clear that authors know what they are writing about first hand. Don't know how helpful to pass test, but very helpful for WEB administrators and developers. Covers tons of stuff and not too thick. 5 stars. I feel Russian accent sometimes. It helps because I have Russian origin myself. Joseph A.

If you run IIS you most definitely need this book. The information in it is awesome, much more complete than any Microsoft class could ever give you. I took the MCSE test on IIS 4 and still didn't know what I was doing untill I read this book. If you have IIS do yourself a favor and buy this book. You won't be disappointed!

This book presents information that most exam oriented books do not have. It will not help you pass the exam by itself but will certainly help you understand your IIS 4.0 installation better. It is good for administrators and people who have some experience but not for the Paper MCSE's.
