[Steve Malley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stanek's series is the definitive resource for information on a great variety of Microsoft software. What is great about his books is that they are strong on application -- you can find the answer to "How do I" pretty readily in this book and his other books. This book is especially useful for system administration in large multi-server environments.
