Descriptions Windows 2000 System Administrator's Black Book: The System Administrator's Essential Guide to Installing, Configuring, Operating, and Troubleshooting Free Ebook
With Windows 2000 becoming less of a novelty and more of an established force in organisational networks, a book that's based on experiences with real-life deployments rather than on laboratory systems comes in handy. Windows 2000 System Administrator's Black Book distils the Windows 2000 experiences of three administrators into a large collection of stepped procedures, with some tips and conceptual explanations in the mix. It pays special attention to the differences between Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000--a valuable emphasis. It also shares numerous practical lessons, such as the fact that you can, against Microsoft's recommendations, put printers of different makes and models in the same printer pool as long as they can all be made to use the same driver. This book has real substance, and the authors know their subject.
On the negative side of the scale, this book has real language problems, which reduces its usefulness. Fortunately, documenting sequences of steps comprises the majority of the text, and it's understandable enough. It's also easy to locate the procedures that interest you, either in the index or by way of black page-edge thumb tabs and the separate tables of contents for each chapter.
This is still a substantial book based on real experience. It pays ample attention to the contents of the Windows 2000 Resource Kit, and deals adequately with special situations (such as preparation for disk imaging). That's a lot to offer the Windows 2000 system administrator, particularly if he or she wants the new operating system explained from a Windows NT 4 perspective. --David Wall
