Summary: Great W2K3 Administrators book
Review: This book is great for all people interested in Windows 2003 Server. It has examples and instructions on most of the administrative procedures. This book is not ideal as a study guide but more as a reference book for people who are already administators or systems enginners. The book is well presented and easy to read. Well worth buying

Summary: Not a comprehensive guide
Review: This book judging by its massive size seemed to be the end all comprehensive guide to everything server 2003. The main reason I bought this book was for info on IIS 6 and windows media server. The IIS 6 material in this book is phenomenal but much to my dismay not one word was written about deploying windows media server. How can u not even cover one of the most changed products from 2000 server? The windows media server has undergone some major changes which I believe warrant some kind of coverage in this book.
Otherwise the book is very well written and covers the meat and bones of IIS and terminal services as well as AD. Alot of the book is for planning the migration and deployment of the server 2003 environment which is useless unless your running a fortune 500 company's IT dept.
