This book is an OK resource as resources go - the big problem is that it is not written in ENGLISH - the continuous grammatical errors and problems with syntax make the book a nightmare to go through - in some cases evern confusing simple configuration explanations and in other cases, due to misplaced noun-verb agreement - just wrong advice. Buy a different book.I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS BOOK WENT TO PRINT - a mere one-time run-through with MS-Word's grammar checker could have corrected MOST of this.

Just a note, the 5 star review mentions "Mark" doing a great job ... Neither author of this book is named Mark, so me thinks this 5 star review was for Mark Minasi's W2K book ... Just a thought ...

The book was very poorly translated. I used it for kindling in my fireplace.

This Book could be good but due to the very poor translation, it does not deserve to be recommended. This is really a mess since I read the book twice and did not understand anything. Unless this book is properly re-translated in good english spend your money elsewhere. Shame on the translator and also applies to that person who gave this book 5 Stars.!

I am an NT administrator and technical trainer trying to quickly get up to speed with Windows 2000 Server. Mark's book is just the ticket. Let's face it- the guy not only knows the product backwards, forwards, and diagonally, but he knows how to TEACH the relevant concepts.

In summary, the book is purposely structured to be of maximum benefit to people with or without prior knowledge of Windows NT. Current Windows NT experts will doubtless learn some new pointers about NT as they learn brand new stuff about Windows 2000. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.
