5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch, August 22, 2002

By	Jim McDonald (High Bridge, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This book does a great job of explaining in-depth some advanced issues of AD. I only recommend this book for experienced admins since it only glosses over introductory topics. Look at this more as a book for advanced architectural issues like DNS and AD Scripting (VB, etc.) though I would say scripting newbies could benefit.

Also, this book is not MCSE 2000 prep material. I would not recommend this book until you already have a firm grasp of most AD concept and you want to go further.

Finally, the authors credentials speak for themselves. I highly recommend this book.
