Customer Reviews

Very good cross over book.

This is really a good book. It is note quite a reference manual. Its more of a teaching/insturction book. I have been working with NT since 3.51. The jump from 3.51 to 4.0 was pretty easy because you were using Windwos 95 for a year already and 4.0 "looked" just like 95 and it still worked a lot like 3.51. With 2000 its all new.This book gives an explanation of what its covering in the chapter - good stuff - a lot like a manual, then it gives step-by-step instructions on how to do things that you wouldn't even need to think about how to do in NT4. Its worth it - you might not need it as much 8 months from now - but it should be on the self for those 1st 8 months. I would recomend this book to newbies and pros alike.The only thing that could be better was if Stu could have hooked us up with licensed versions of the software included with the CD ;)

This book is great!

This book is great! I found that it went into great detail on issues that have been coming up on a daily basis in the office. Overall it was very educational as well as easy to read and provided great techniques to help with installation and management for my network. Using the information in this book has increased my production ten fold in such a sort time I can suggest that all 2000 administrators should pick up a copy.

Thorough and user friendly

I found this book very user friendly and would higly recommend this book to anyone already working with Win2k or facing a Win2k migration in the near future (that will be most of us!). It covers a variety of migration and network integration issues and deals with all aspects of the o/s in a very straight-forward manner. In my opinion, this black book is definitely going to be of use for anyone who's involved in the "wonderful world" of Windows.

Fantastic Tool!

I found this book to be a fantastic tool and resource for the indidvidual who cannot afford to take the MSCE exam! This book covers topics for everyone from a junior/intermediate to a high level senior technical position in the industry. Can't get by without it!

It is a must have Windows 2000 Systems Administrator's book.
