Good reference book [Posted on 2007-10-24]
This book is very good for System administrators wanting quick fix to everyday administration problems.

Learn to master the Windows command interface on XP Pro and Server platforms [Posted on 2007-12-18]
This is a useful reference to have. It covers everything from configuring network interfaces to writing your own scripts. If you are using an older version of Windows or you have Windows XP Home edition, there are a lot of commands in this book that are going to be about as valuable to you as a half-chewed cat turd.

If you have access to Active Directory on the Windows Server platform, then you'll learn about a whole host of powerful utilities and commands that will make your life easier and make you feel pretty cool about yourself, too.

Not just another command line how to book [Posted on 2008-04-05]
I bought this book because it was put out through the same publisher that makes the Windows xxxx Administrator Pocket consultant. I hadn't formed any opinion until I sat down and actually read it. It's well written, interesting and very informative. It has many syntactically correct working examples of how to do admin work on some section of a Windows Server or Workstation. A good reference source also.

Handy to have [Posted on 2008-05-22]
Every so often, you may need to do something in command line form, and this book will help you remember what you know you can do, but can't quite remember how.

A must for every Windows system administrator and power user [Posted on 2008-06-18]
This is a book that every Windows system administrator and every Windows power user should have.

Stanek is widely and justifiably known as an expert in Windows administration. In this terse volume, he shows just how powerful the commnd line is in Windows and how to take maximum advantage of that power through direct commands and scripting. He does, in fact, provide a short and very effective "course" in command-line scripting.

In 25 chapters, Stanek walks through every major area of system administration and shows how powerful the command-line can be.

Stanek truly knows his business and his style is admirably concise. One of the must-have books for anyone who really wants to become a Windows virtuoso.
