A Technical Must Have for the Power User

Senior Network/Systems AdministratorA must-have for the NT Power User. Both robust on theoretical knowledge about OS architecture, internals, etc. and rich in tips, tools, advice, right-on-target details and hands-on examples about utilities usage. Strong chapters include Deployment, Security, Printing, Tuning and Optimization, File system, Recovery, Troubleshooting, Registry, OS startup, compatibility, Networking and even the NT debugger. Rather common content for NT books, but this one is really packed with useful information. It isn't so much an on-the-spot problem solver. Yet this very technical book is an excellent reference on many advanced subjects for which information is not easily found elsewhere. It is also the kind of books that can actually be read from cover to cover : it provides the solid, in-depth, detailed knowledge of the OS that all serious NT administrators should have. Don't go without it.

#1 NT Resource

If you are serious about administering NT, and are not just interested in passing exams for the quick buck, this book is for you. When I received my MCSE in 1996 there were very few study aids and test preps. I used the WKS and Server resource kits to pass the exams. I also learned a lot more about NT than was needed for the exams, but was essential in the real world. Now that the MCSE is worthless, maybe you should learn something useful about the operating system, rather then waste your time memorizing test questions.

Great book packed with details

Before buying, I read the other reviews. The main comment seemed to be "boring, too many details." Well if you're like me and love to know how things really work, this is the book to have. For the first time I have documentation on a number of registry flags and tricks to make my computer perform better. Plus the real reason I bought the book (the CD) is packed with utilities like the C2 security configurator and Microsoft Plus. Definetely a must have if you want to get the most out of NT.

Good for MCSE Training

Although this book dosen't read like a novel, it's still a good book to look up specific facts quickly! It's laid out very nicely in bite size chunks so your not overwhelmed with too much information, just the informatiion you're looking for! I find it a great addition for the NT Workstation Core exams. It's also extremely thorough! This book IS NT Workstation!!!

Must Have for NT engineers and admins

Being someone who has woked with NT for several years this book is a requirement. Those that are looking for fun overview reading are looking in the wrong place. The detail on the NT registry and Performance monitoring is not to be found anywhere else. I couldn't live without it.
