Mission Critical Windows 2000 Server Administration

Rating:
Summary: Excellent In-depth coverage of Win2k Mission Critical Topics
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. It covered important details regarding Active Directory Design, Network Infrastructure design, fault tolerance and disaster recovery and user management issues. The book was put together very nicely, and was actually enjoyable to read, which isn't something I had expected from a book of this type.

This book is a definite 5 and should help you in your network roll-outs and for your Win2k Design electives as well.

Summary: A must read for IT Professionals.
Review: In the author's own words "this is not meant to be light bedtime reading, but an exploration of the more technical issues of Windows 2000 Server." If you already have a good grasp of basic Windows 2000 Server Administration and want to move up to the next level, start here. There are plenty of walkthroughs, best practices, and real world advice that goes far beyond the "marketing hype" that can be found in much of Microsoft's documentation. The author strikes a good balance between providing excellent technical depth without getting bogged down by it.
