Customer Reviews

Well worth the purchase.

I stumbled across this valuable book shortly after finishing Minasi's. I was searching for a second reference, one that I could reach for as a backup of sorts. I quickly discovered that this book was more then just a backup; its range of topics - including security issues and Kerberos - and depth of coverage clearly show that this book stands on its own merits. It's also nice to read an author who doesn't just present the facts, but also outlines how these facts fit into best practices. As far as Windows 2003 server books go, this one fits into the upper tier.

Excellent Book!

Great Book! If you want to know a lot about Windows Server 2003 and earn your MCSE 2003. You can't go wrong with this book.Mastering Windows Server 2003 is a more enjoyable book to read, but this book has some sections that are much better, such as Certificate Services (although winstructor.com has videos that really make Certificate Services easy to understand).I really liked this book and often refer to it, if Mastering 2003 doesn't have the info. Go and buy it

A Must have for any Windows 2003 Administrator

As I work with clients and students on Windows Server 2003, I'm inevitably asked about reference material. Without hesitation I recommend Inside Windows Server 2003 by William Boswell. This book not only covers the fundamentals you would expect, but also delves into the nitty-gritty, and sometimes obscure, technical details of Windows Server 2003. With excellent illustrations , clear and concise writing, and a soups to nuts approach, this title is a must-have for any Windows administrator.

Best I've seen!

At the presnet time, I have just finished the first chapter of this book. It is without a doubt the best server book that I have worked with. I have a better understanding of the old stuff that I knew as well as a great understanding of the new information that I am learning.Mike Johns MCSE CCNAmike_johns@hotmail.com

A very, very good book!

There are many books out there written on Windows 2003, including the ones published by the Microsoft Press, but Bill's book stands out easily. The simple reasons are: Bill is a very, very good, writer, and his techincal knowledge is so obvious. I'm glad to find out that Bill, unlike many other authors, ddidn't pull the stuff from the online help, paraphased them and called them his own, but from his own practical experience, and know-how.I strongly recommend this book to everyone.
