A Desktop Quick Reference.
This book represents a mighty effort from an extremely knowledgeable consultant in Microsoft operating systems. It also makes a good attempt (whether intentionally or not) at bridging the gap between UNIX and Windows administrative skillsets. This book should appeal to both Windows administrators and UNIX people wishing to find out something about SW2003. Speaking personally, I found this book game me almost all I needed to administer my department?s new WS2003 domain controllers. Cheers Mitch.? - ? Steven-Ashley Woltering, Ping Dec/Jan
