Summary: Not what I needed
Review: Good book, but didn't have the information I was looking for.

Summary: Very Good Book!
Review: This book has excellent problem-solving strategies and troubleshooting tips for DNS and WINS. It's also packed with a very handy reference which we are all constantly needing. This is defiantly one book I'll want on my desk for years to come. I give this book 6 stars.
Rating: 
Summary: Doesn't provide what it is marketed as
Review: This book is marketed as a book for DNS and WINS emergencies (disaster recovery). Its title "admin 911" with flashing red siren indicates its purpose is for providing emergency repair and restoration information of DNS and WINS. I would say around 10 pages of the ENTIRE 375 page book is dedicated for this subject.Cutting edge methdology for repairing DNS and WINS are not mentioned at all. The book should have contained case studies and scenarios on how DNS and WINS can be best fixed. Instead, the author talks about what DNS and WINS is and how it functions. If you want to know what DNS and WINS are, then this is not a bad book to get. But if you want to understand and write scripts for disaster recovery of DNS and WINS, look elsewhere.

Summary: Don't pass this one up
Review: This book was very helpful. It answered a lot of my questions and is an excellent resource for two no so well documented services. I would recommend this to anyone even if you think that you know DNS and WINS well. I found a lot of secrets in this book that I still can't find in any Microsoft documentation or in other books. Great book!
... Oh, yeah, there is about 30 pages of disaster recovery provided.
