4.0 out of 5 stars Very good "reference" manual, May 9, 2000

By	Darin Gottman (Sioux Falls, USA) - See all my reviews

Windows 2000 Server Unleashed is a very productive book. This book covers a lot of aspects of Windows Server Advanced Server ranging from installing it into your server up to securing your server from hackers, crackers and script kiddies. The book also explains just about all you need to know so that you can successfully manage a Windows 2000 server. I like how the book explains all the different aspects of each part of the operating system. The information ranges from how the operating system actually works up to the different techniques that you can use to tweak the server. Another thing I liked about Windows 2000 Server Unleashed is that it tells you both the GUI way to do things and also the command line way. Tips to different parts of the operating system are scattered throughout the book and these tips are usually pretty useful. Overall the Windows 2000 Server Unleashed book is a very useful reference manual that should become a bible for any administrator who is thinking about a Windows 2000 network

5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Windows 2000 Book, April 11, 2000

By A Customer

This book covers every topic of Windows 2000 Server you could possibly want to know, completely in depth. I reccomend this book to anyone that uses Windows 2k, from novice to pro.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some good info, lots of typos, July 1, 2003

By A Customer

I turned to this book based on my experience with
"Windows NT 4 Server Unleashed", which let me bring
an NT server up rather painlessly some years ago.
However, this book does not measure up. Not only are
there many places where it's obvious that a proofreader
was not used, but I found quite a few places where
text was simply cut-and-pasted from chapter to
chapter, resulting in duplication of whole paragraphs.
Look elsewhere if you're looking to understand the
differences between NT4 and W2K from the ground up.
If you're already experienced with Win2K, perhaps
you'll find this a good reference, but it's not for
beginners.
