" tomes, and the near-useless "Dummies" approach. It lives up to its promise of teaching you what you need to know to start setting up and managing a Windows 2003 server with about 15 hours of investment in reading time.The only thing keeping it from getting a full five stars was that it went a bit too briskly over DNS, where I get the feeling a couple more pages of Jones' on-the-mark advice could have saved me some hours of troubleshooting. On the whole, however, a very useful book.
Great Introduction Manual [Posted on 2005-01-24]
This is a great introduction manual if you have never installed or used Windows Server 2003. I found it very easy to understand and it walked me through each step that would be of concern for a typical user.
Server Crash Course [Posted on 2005-10-17]
A good way to quickly catch up on Server management. About the only thing missing is Active Directory. Instead of just saying that its too big of a topic to cover, it would be nice to have at least a brief guideline to it.
Little Relevant Info from a programmer's perspective [Posted on 2006-07-10]
If you buy a server with Windows 2003 Server R2 pre-installed, there is very little you need to do in order to get it up and running as a web/apps server. As such, the book, while very clear, has joined my legions of forgottable IT books. It's not bad, it's just not filled with enough info to make it a must have. I supposed it allowed me to feel better that I wasn't alone in my configuration.
