Easy-to-read, broad overview of Win 2K Server

Before I say how much I like this book, I'll confess I have not read it cover-to-cover, as I have the 3rd Edition and it is over 1800 pages. But it is a refreshing change from other texts on the same subject written by folks who think MS products are infallible. Why did I get this book? I'm not an IT person, but I write a lot of code... mainly for PHP/MySQL-based web sites that usually run Unix-based systems using Apache...

Best of the Best

As an owner of a computer consulting firm and a past professor of computer sciences at the college level, my experience has taught me that Mark Minasi is one of the premier experts on Microsoft operating systems and problems. My first experience with one of his books was after actually trying to do roaming user profiles in Microsoft Windows NT and finding that out of five books I consulted only Mark Minasi's was accurate...

Cannot say enough about this book!

I am an NT administrator and technical trainer trying to quickly get up to speed with Windows 2000 Server. Mark's book is just the ticket. Let's face it- the guy not only knows the product backwards, forwards, and diagonally, but he knows how to TEACH the relevant concepts.This book is serving the dual purpose of helping me prepare for the Windows 2000 MCSE exams as well as gain the necessary skills to do meaningful consulting...

An excellent reference book

Mark Minasi's Mastering Windows 2000 Server is proving itself to be an invaluable resource -- a first-rate reference book that is informative, thorough, and most importantly, clear. If you're looking for a theoretical and detailed technical discussion about concepts and technologies, this is NOT the book for you. You'd be better off reading some of Microsoft's relevant whitepapers, many of which are freely available...
