Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This comprehensive guide to Windows NT Server is both a manual for the operating system's features and an implementation tool for real-world use. In this sixth edition, author Mark Minasi builds on an already mature work by adding numerous new topics.

The first part of the book is an excellent overview of Windows NT Server and key Microsoft technology and terminology pertaining to the enterprise. The first chapters cover the architecture, network protocols, domains, workgroups, layered drivers, and more. The second part, consisting of three lengthy chapters, addresses installation and configuration. Rather than merely address the key steps, Minasi presents information about important related topics such as the redundant array of independent disks (RAID) for fault tolerance and the Windows NT registry.

Part three consists of over 400 pages of well-organized discussion on administration; everything from user management to interfacing with Macintoshes and working with the Windows Terminal Server is covered in detail. Throughout the book, Minasi presents useful sidebars that answer common questions about how to perform specific tasks.

The final seven chapters cover enterprise issues such as interconnecting Novell NetWare networks, troubleshooting, optimization, disaster recovery, Remote Access Services (RAS), and Internet Information Server (IIS). These sections address advanced issues and complete the book.

Whether you're looking for a guide to learning Windows NT Server or something to bail you out in the field, this definitive work is an excellent choice. --Stephen W. Plain

4.0 out of 5 stars Good study and knowledge source. Lousy CD.
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 1998
Verified Purchase
I bought this largely on Amazon recommendations as part of my preparation for the MCSE exam series. It's a good read, but difficult to use as a reference to figure out why on earth the answer to a sample exam question was (a), not (b). I hoped the CD would overcome some of the failures of the index, but it's so cumbersome to use that it's almost useless. If they would provide an index-only function which you could store on your hard drive, and use the book for text, it would be a truly useful resource. I also get the feeling that Mark got paid by the word, or perhaps by the pound, but all in all I would recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars NT Book on STEROIDS!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2000
Verified Purchase
This is an excellent form of reference for a great operating system. If you can nut it up and read this entire book and truly digest all of the information, then you will become an NT GOD. Heck, even if you remember a quarter of all the information, you'll be an NT GOD. My current job requires knowledge of NT Server, but I don't need to be an MCSE. For me, it's like killing a mosquito with a cannon, but I'm a junkie when it comes to thirsting for IT knowledge. I can't get enough! Whether it's how to create a transparent background in Photoshop, learning a new Mac OS shortcut, or learning Win NT 4, I love it all!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Good read only if you are new to NT & networking
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 1998
This book is a very good read if you are new to the NT environment and if you require a basic understanding of the topic. But it is certainly not a book written for your average techie. Do not get me wrong this is a very well written book but I would certainly include few more sections in there and cut out some of the basic stuff. There are also sections from NT 3.51 like the DNS section which don't do the author's efforts justice.

This book provides excellent coverage of NT4. There are very, very few questions left unanswered by the contents of this book. Excellent reference for me on the job. I first checked this book out in the library and found I needed it for every day. Plus, excellent price AMAZON and thanks for using USPS.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for Adminstrators but not for Exam-takers
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 1999
Minasi's book is arguably the best book for NT adminstrators. It covers many of the problems you'll encounter in a corporate setting and is quite interesting to read. On the other hand, it's really not designed to prepare you for the MCSE NT exams. Minasi does not attempt to cover all the objectives and includes a wealth of information that you don't really need to know to pass the exams. If you're an adminstrator, buy this book. Skip it if you're just studying for the exams.
