Get ahead...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Windows 2000 Server: Network Planning and Migration (Circle Series) (Paperback)
I was lucky enough to be able to review an advanced copy of this book. Sean Deuby does an excellent job of covering Win2000 and the complicated ideas you can expect from this new product. There are a LOT of changes coming and after reading the book I'm not sure I'm ready yet! But he does manage to cover the good stuff: Active Directory, DNS and the naming conventions, native versus mixed mode, and my favorite-- migration. There's more but I don't want to spoil the ending :) He's got real world experience with the product and gives it to you straight-- buy it and read it.

Very Good for Win2k planning,
By A Customer
This review is from: Windows 2000 Server: Network Planning and Migration (Circle Series) (Paperback)
An excellent choice for LAN admins that want to get ahead of the curve and may not have a boss that is amenable to training costs for a product that is not even out yet. It becomes becomes apparent that Mr. Deuby has "real world" experience in working with Windows NT networks. Newer admins take note: This should become _Required Reading_ for you!

This One Rocks!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Windows 2000 Server: Network Planning and Migration (Circle Series) (Paperback)
This book rocks. It is easy to read, fun to read, and it has awesome "real-life" observations and information. I especially enjoyed the "recommendations" bullet-lists summarizing the author's text. These bullet lists are an excellent resource for refreshing your mind about a particular topic as you sit down to design some aspect of your network.
