4.0 out of 5 stars Good Network Geek Stuff, June 3, 2001

By	Wallace V. French III (Boston MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great book for the Network Administrator. Layed out like the "for dummies" series, but doesn't say "For Dummies" so you don't have to be embarrassed to have it on your bookshelf at work. It is very simple and easy to read. Each appendix is a Windows 2000 roll-out scenario complete with screen shots of each wizard box. I like this book and I'm sure I'll be referring to it often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for administrators, January 24, 2001

By	Mark Fountain (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

Very focused on administration and management - very easy to read. The chapters on site design and configuration and replication are worth the price of the book. If you're justing starting to learn AD, start with this book. It's clear and orderly.
