Windows 2000 System Administrator's Black Book: The Systems Administrator's Essential Guide to Installing, Configuring, Operating, and Troubleshooting a Windows 2000 Network

Summary: Very good cross over book.
Review: This is really a good book. It is note quite a reference manual. Its more of a teaching/insturction book. I have been working with NT since 3.51. The jump from 3.51 to 4.0 was pretty easy because you were using Windwos 95 for a year already and 4.0 "looked" just like 95 and it still worked a lot like 3.51. With 2000 its all new.

This book gives an explanation of what its covering in the chapter - good stuff - a lot like a manual, then it gives step-by-step instructions on how to do things that you wouldn't even need to think about how to do in NT4. Its worth it - you might not need it as much 8 months from now - but it should be on the self for those 1st 8 months. I would recomend this book to newbies and pros alike.

The only thing that could be better was if Stu could have hooked us up with licensed versions of the software included with the CD ;)
