This review is from: Windows 2000 Server Secrets (Paperback)

This book is a must if you want to build a Windows 2000 Server based network. A lot of tips are included, which will avoid you to loose time on details. From another hand, you should have some knowledge about NT before reading it. Anyway, it will stay on my desktop for a while !

If you do slog your way through all of this you will probably come up with something useful. It did find out one or two things in here that solved problems we were having at the time, so it was certainly useful from that point of view. If that happens, the books have paid for themselves, in effect.
