Summary: Thorough and user friendly
Review: I found this book very user friendly and would higly recommend this book to anyone already working with Win2k or facing a Win2k migration in the near future (that will be most of us!). It covers a variety of migration and network integration issues and deals with all aspects of the o/s in a very straight-forward manner. In my opinion, this black book is definitely going to be of use for anyone who's involved in the "wonderful world" of Windows.

Summary: High Praise
Review: I have just recently installed Windows 2000 and was not sure what to expect the difference to be between 2000 and NT4. After reading this book, I not only know the differences between the two, but can now migrate my others machines much more effectively. This book is a real find for anyone interested in upgrading to 2000.

Summary: A mixed bag
Review: I purchased this book based on the author's reputation. I have mixed feelings about the book.Yes, there are some technical inaccuracies. However, none (so far) are fatal and most seem to been due to oversights in the editing process. Each of the chapters starts with an "In-depth" section that reviews the chapter's contents. While I hesitate to describe much of the material as "in depth"; this section of each chapter does a reasonably good job of overviewing the material. More than wading, but not deep either. More like waist deep. The rest of each chapter provides step by step instructions to tasks related to the chapters material. Most of these "solutions" provide a step by step instuction to complete some task. This book is not meant to be a MCSE test prep tool. For a beginning to intermediate level network administrator or for a recent NT 4 to Windows 2000 convertee, there is a lot of useful "get the job done" information.

Summary: Inaccurate Disappointment
Review: I purchased this book based on the authors promotion as user group gurus. Within the first hundred pages I found numerous incorrect statements. This is not a book to purchase if you want an accurate reflection. I am disappointed and angry.

Summary: Too Simple
Review: I returned it the day I got it. While thumbing through it, I found that most of the book is simply stepping you through config. screens/menus without explanations of the options that need to be set. The registry sections seemed fairly robust but almost all of the keys I saw were ones configurable using group policy. Sorry, won't be on my bookshelf.
