Summary: Get ready to rumble with Windows Nt Server
Review: I currently work as an Oracle DBA using Windows Nt Server 4.0 as the operating system. Part of my job requires maintaining two Nt Server 4.0 machines and One standalone Server. I use the Standalone Server as an Internet Information Server with Front Page 98 clients, Back Office Products, and Visual Interdev development environments. The Windows Nt Servers are used to run Oracle Database in a client server environment. I used the Windows Nt Bible to set up a Primary Domain Control a Backup Domain Control, set up a client connect to a Network client, and activate the Windows Internet Server on the Standalone server. The key characteristics, I found appealing in the book was: the book was written with the idea, the reader wants to implement a Nt server immediately (cut the fluff). The second concept, I liked was each chapter provided concise descriptions that help the reader understand the Windows Nt Server Architecture, such as, network layers, network adapters, communication protocols, growing your network, and installing internet information server. The third concept, I like was the interesting stories relating to the authors experiences while working a Microsoft. The stories are just, cool! Bottom line, the book work for me, to get my job done. I believe the Window Nt Server book can help you get started using Windows Nt Server 4.0!

Summary: Bad Book
Review: This book is great for someone who will first see and use Windows NT Server 4.0, but for someone who has already worked with NT will find this book very unusable.

Summary: Not in depth enough for the serious administrator
Review: While this book touches on a lot of subjects, it covers very few in depth, and skips over some altogether. With the wealth of NT books out there, a serious NT user or administrator should look elsewhere.
