Customer Reviews

Look past the other reviews...

This book was VERY informative and minus a few errors (the book was written before the release of the product!) I took a lot away from this text. As an NT / W2K administrator I would highly recommend this book!

Great coverage of the AD topic

I picked this book up last week and started to thumb through it and found myself not able to put it down. The TOC was great and the book followed a good rythm, covering all bases. The planning and implementation sections are terrific, though some of the diagrams were elementary. Overall I found this book to be a very insightful title and would recommend it to all.

This book is awsome

So many of these reviews are talking about pictures. I am glad that I did not buy it based on that. I know fully understand the concepts to deploy this part of Windows 2000. This is an great reference. Buy it!
