Customer Reviews & Comments
This book wasn't what I expected it to be. I was expecting something from the point of view of being an Administrator and being shown what I needed to do, why I needed to do it, and how I would use Microsoft Windows Server 2003 to do it. Instead, this book is written from the point of view of being an Administrator and being shown what Microsoft Windows Server 2003 can do and exactly how to do it. For the most part, the book is descriptive instead of prescriptive. Given that, the book does a very good job. It's extremely detailed and covers a huge spectrum of what Microsoft Windows Server 2003 can do. One odd thing is that even though the author assumes in-depth knowledge of the terminology and concepts of server administration, he also seems to assume that the reader has never seen a Microsoft Windows XP desktop. He spends a good chunk of the book describing (in detail) things that anyone who has ever worked with XP already knows. So, ignoring the fact that this book wasn't what I expected, overall, if you know what you're doing as an Administrator and just need to know how Microsoft Windows Server 2003 does the things you need to do, then I highly recommend this book. I give it a rating of four stars out of five. As a side note, this book is used in Florida State University's (FSU's) CIS 4407: "Computer and Network System Administration" course.
