Summary: Good for MCSE Training
Review: 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!!!

Summary: A waste of money
Review: Another insult from Microsloth's Evil Empire! Barely worth the money, badly written and sloppy. I assume, Microsloth is expecting everybody who finds an error to pay for an update of the book

Summary: #1 NT Resource
Review: 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.

Summary: Must Have for NT engineers and admins
Review: 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.

Summary: A Ho Hum Book
Review: I bought the book back in 1996 when I needed something to augment the software. I'd say the average rating at this point, 3 1/2, is a bit high. This is an average book. I can see where it *might* be of benefit to some users, but it has always seemed to me surprisingly short on details. There're some good explanations of things but in my view they tend to be overviews. In three years of use, I don't think it's solved more than two or three problems, and they were not of any great consequence. The CD-ROM included with the book has been of no help. The book strikes me as having been written by a number of people without a real focus. IMHO it's more like a dictionary or reference, and its focus is like them.I think slightly higher of Mansfield's book, Windows NT 4 Workstation. At least, it has some more practical and easily useful info that's easier to read. Norton has a book on this subject, but I have no idea of it's quality. If you're into networking and the server side of things, try Mark Minasi's Mastering Windows NT Server 4. It's applicable to Workstations too. Since Windows 2000 will be available in about 2 months, Feb. 2000, this book may lose its relevance fast.

Summary: Most useless book on my bookshelf
Review: I have had this book since it came out in 1996. When I found it, I was excited - I thought it was going to give me all of this great systems administrator level information about Windows NT. I happily picked up a copy to keep on my bookshelf for reference. I am _still_ awaiting the day where this book is going to give me some useful information. Over the last 4 years I've come across numerous situations in which something funky was going on with my NT box and I needed more information to diagnose the problem. Every time, I've gone to this book. Not ONCE has the book had an answer to my question! But, the book is SO huge, I keep thinking that there really MUST be some question out there I'm going to have that it will answer. Yet, it always amazes me with a complete lack of an answer -- typically in the form of "see your System Administrator". Uh, hello? What book are system administrators supposed to get then? Or what if you run NT at home and don't have a system administrator? This book touts itself as if it's the book FOR system administrators and then it tells them to "see their system administrator." (ayeeee!) Thank god I'm just a programmer, not a sys admin and thus only disappoint myself when I can't find the answer. I just remain baffled that Microsoft could fill 1300 pages without an ounce of useful information. Anyway, I've upgraded my NT systems to 2000 so I'm going to chuck the book -- just thought I'd offer a warning to others about it before it went completely out of my memory.
