This book is the perfect complement to Microsofti??s exhaustive and exhausting official documentation. In one focused volume all the common tasks are explained and step by step intructions provided. The emphasis is on solving problems quickly and effectively without having to rake over the knowledge bases or trawl through pages of side chat. Any underlying technology and structure issues are explained at the right level of detail to ground actions in understanding. This unique task-based approach makes the book ideal as a step-by-step introduction for the IT specialist moving into network adminstration for the first time and as a results focused reference for the seasoned admin with a specific job to do. The book is lean and focused in style, but the scope is comprehensive. It is probably not suitable for a beginner with no previous OS experience.
