5.0 out of 5 starsGood Cheap self training
By Jomar V. Miller on December 13, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Bought as used item on Amazon. I use it as training book along with 2003 windows server. Although not new, this book and used windows server software still provides a valuable learning tool. I have a full lab built on used hardware and software. This is a great way to get a hands on experience.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat companion book!
By McGregorMX on February 3, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Got a new job as a sys-admin, and found this book to be very helpful! I have since upgraded the system to server 2008 r2, but every now and then need to use this book as well, so I still have it on hand. Great book if you are still using 2003 environments.

2.0 out of 5 starsToo Basic for Administrator Level Work
By buford on October 9, 2007
Format: Hardcover
In an administrator's companion you expect to find technical material not usually found in the typical server manual. That's supposedly the whole purpose. You expect to find an expert in the field blessing us with the fruits of their experience; experience we can't usually find in the typical book on this platform. This book is like reading introductory Windows. "Click the button by enable to enable". Step by step instructions on how to use the "Add New Hardware" wizard which came out with Windows 95. I pray no network administrator needs to be told something like that. It's like this throughout the book. So I checked the author's credentials. I discovered one of the authors is a writer of computer books. In other words, text from other computer books is regurgitated and placed in this book. Now the author has another book to add to their list of accomplishments. Some of the admin companion books are really good. But unless you need just another basic level book with page after page telling you things like "if you want this click it and click Next" then pass this book by. A good administrator companion book is usually written by several experienced administrators. Such books are out there. This is not one of them.

5.0 out of 5 starsBrilliant!
By A Customer on September 2, 2003
Format: Hardcover
I only picked up my copy of this book days ago, and no I am not all of the way through it yet. Excluding the index and TOC, its 1492 pages...its big! The first 4 chapters cover Active Directory Theory and Planning. Surprisingly I found these chapters to be better than most publications that devote the entire book to the subject. From Chapter 5 onwards, it starts stepping you through installation and configuration of Server 2003. I won't bore you with a list of chapters (there are 40 of them!), you can get that info from microsoft's site, but I haven't really found anything that appears to be missing from this book. It is extremely thorough.
Pluses: The author explains his topics very well. There are even chapters on ISA Server, IEAK, a very good chapter on Services (I liked the configuring the Indexing Service Part - very good). The book itself (Hardcover reviewed) seems very sturdy - it needs to be as it will be around for a while and the type is just about the perfect size for comfortable reading. I particularly like the 'Real World' examples that list gotchas and things to be aware of.
Minuses: Its too thick to carry around. But don't let that stop you adding it to your shelf. A couple of chapters, eg. 10. Group Policy and 12. Scripting will of course never replace a good dedicated book on Group Policy or Scripting, but is a good primer for those new to it and will set you well on your way to tackling these technologies head on.
I was tossing between buying this book and Mastering Windows Server 2003 which has received good reviews. I only chose this one based on the reviews from the 2000 edition and the fact that it was in stock locally.
This is easily one of the best books on my shelf right now and certainly the best Server 2003 book I have. Most IT books I never completely read, I just pick out the bits I need, but this is the first book I actually have sat down and read from the start. Go buy it, I am glad I did. Highly recommended!
