Customer Reviews

A good tool for those transitioning from NT 4.0

As an MCSE who feels comfortable with NT 4.0, the advent of Windows 2000 brings some feelings of anxiety. Though this book doesn't delve into the "how to" administrative tasks with Active Directory and other daily tasks that will be common, the author painted a good picture of how NT 2000 will be different. This book is an excellent tool for those who are wanting to gain an introduction (hence the title). I would especially recommend this for Business Analysts or any Sales force who wants to learn the new lingo and imporvements that Microsoft has made. It gives a good overview for those who know networking on what's new and what's there. That is what the book is. For those seeking an insightful "how to do" systematic approach of the Beta software, you will not get it here. It is an easy read and worth it's price.

An excellent introduction to Windows 2000 Server

Mr. Northrup has written a thorough overview of Win2k. He covers all of the new features and describes all of the changes from NT 4.0. The book is clearly aimed at systems administrators, but users, managers, and executives would find the title informative and approachable. Mr. Northrup's writing is concise and articulate, pleasant to read, especially when compared to the typical technical tome. I highly recommend this fine book to anyone who anticipates working with Microsoft's forthcoming OS, its well worth the investment in time and money.
