5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe mistitled but a great book, December 15, 1999

This review is from: Windows NT Network Management Reducing Total Cost of Ownership (Textbook Binding)

Some may misconstrue the title of this book to mean network management in the sense of system administration or network traffic flow. This is certainly not the case as the sub-title indicates. It is a book that covers some of what a traditional NT admin book would but is really much more. The book is very much geard towards the network/IT/IS manager. The book is filled with great bits on policies and procedures as well as how to get the most out of your NT systems. If you are an experienced NT admin this book will not have much that is new for you although, because it is so well written, it may still be an interesting read (as it was for me). But the new NT admin and, more importantly, the new manager, will find this a great book on how to use NT efficiently and what non-technical issues come up in the IT world. The book also has excellent references throughtout that point out places to find more specific details.

For the experienced NT admin 'Windows NT Network Management' is just a good read but for the new manager or someone coming over from other areas or systems it is an excellent primer on NT and system management issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably one the Best books I have read about Windows NT., October 20, 1999

I first heard about this book from Anil Desai about 4 months before its release. He had told me that it covered some of the issues that I was talking to him about. The book actually brings new ideas and ways to handle Network Management. My skills have defnintely been augmented by this book more so than any other. I would recommend that everyone buy a copy of this book.

This book provides details that are needed if you are going to support a NT-powered network. Great tips, and a level of detail that makes it the first reference book to grab off the shelf when trying to do something.
