Great Book!

I highly recommend this book to anyone that is looking for a great reference for GPO's and IntelliMrrror technology. A very easy read, that keeps you interested & has a nice logical progression on how to implement these technologies.

Surprisingly Thorough!

Windows 2000 has been out for over 2 years (including the beta). I have been surprised as to how few NT administrators have learned, much less utilized the intense level of scripting automation built into the OS. This book may help turn that corner! After all, nothing can be more mind-numbing that watching a CD-based install. And this tackles that issue, whetting an appetite for "what else can I automate," only to provide step-by-step tools on how to script all of the mundane.While the book does not advertise scripting at its core (Windows Script Host, ADSI, or WMI), it does an excellent job at covering all important elements of scripting. And it does so in the applied setting of automated deployments and remote administration. Truly a book for elevating the NT Admin into being a "full" Windows 2000 administrator, one who can automate through scripting.
