5.0 out of 5 stars Respects both your time and your intelligence., September 13, 2001

By	Mark Hoover (Lansing, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is short and sweet, just like Forkner's book. In computer books, less IS more. Forkner does two things especially well here: he tells you just what you need to know, and then he tells you why you need to know it. When you care, you remember. Forkner's is a seasoned insider's view, served up with genuine enthusiasm for networks in general and NT in particular. He understands that setting up and administering computers is not only algorithmic (like a recipe); it's also holistic (like chess or psychiatry). Because concepts last longer than technology, I found this book still quite useful when setting up Windows 2000 Server.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good no-nonsense beginner's guide, March 24, 1999

By A Customer

I have bought several WindowsNt books on how to help set it up as a server and this is the book I turn to first; if I need more detail I then check out my WindowsNT Resource book - thick as a phonebook and tedious reading. I gave only 3 stars because of this book's lighter format, but weighing it on its own merits and its design goals it deserves 4.5
