Featured Customer Reviews Comprehensive and very easy to read, November 05, 2007 Don't get scared by its size. I thought the contents were very well presented and easy to read & understand. I thougth notes about what one can avoid from the author's years of experience was very helpful and proved to be true in many occasions for me as well. I used this book to plan out a server deployment and migration for a client and I was very grateful for the deployment tips. Too Basic for Administrator Level Work, October 10, 2007 In an administrator's companion you expect to find technical material not usually found in the typical server manual. That's supposedly the whole purpose. You expect to find an expert in the field blessing us with the fruits of their experience; experience we can't usually find in the typical book on this platform. This book is like reading introductory Windows. "Click the button by enable to enable". Step by step instructions on how to use the "Add New Hardware" wizard which came out with Windows 95. I pray no network administrator needs to be told something like that. It's like this throughout the book. So I checked the author's credentials. I discovered one of the authors is a writer of computer books. In other words, text from other computer books is regurgitated and placed in this book. Now the author has another book to add to their list of accomplishments. Some of the admin companion books are really good. But unless you need just another basic level book with page after page telling you things like "if you want this click it and click Next" then pass this book by. A good administrator companion book is usually written by several experienced administrators. Such books are out there. This is not one of them. Small and handy, July 30, 2007 Yes, this is a small and handy Windows 2003 administrator's handbook. I used it many times and it is simple to read and I dont have to remember anything about Windows Server now that it is all in the handbook. Microsoft Windows Books, March 10, 2006 I ordered these books online and they came in very good shape and were delivered on time. Very informative and helpful books. Boring but useful, July 06, 2005 I used this book to pass the 70-290 exam. This book contains a lot of useful information. It is a great reference book too. This book is really boring. It is not a book that you will enjoy reading. It is a good book for experts and as a reference. For beginners who are just starting, I would recommend the QUE books.
