Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

While it's unclear which part of Small Business Solutions for Windows 2000 Professional is of particular interest to people who run small businesses, there's no doubt that this book provides a solid introduction to Microsoft's latest workstation operating system as it applies to small LANs, dial-up Internet access, and standalone application use. This makes it a super how-to guide for small offices, home offices, and even home LANs for family use.

Though you'll find step-by-step procedures in this book, of greater value are the explanations of conceptual matters, such as defining Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Snap-In and describing how to design a good network from the ground up. This approach works well for people who are moving directly to Windows 2000 (and its networking capabilities) from Windows 98 in a standalone configuration. The book takes special care to describe features (such as Internet Connection Sharing) that could save organizations money and time and devotes extra time to the administration tools and procedures fledgling system administrators have to understand. Read this book before you switch to Windows 2000, and keep it on hand during and after installation. --David Wall

Topics covered: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, as it applies to someone who will both use and administer it. The book gives detailed help on setting up the operating system, configuring hardware, establishing accounts and other security measures, adding Internet connectivity, and working with small LANs.

Bought the book, and going to be returning it for a more complete book. If you are a beginner with the Windows 9x interface, and need some handholding, this book is for you. Otherwise, I'd imagine you'd be better off buying a "Mastering" book of some sort.
