Minasi is an awesome Windows author! Taught me most of what I know about Server 2003 or helped me to get to the level that I am at today.

Looking forward for his series for the recently released Server 2008!

I don't anyone who has (or could) read this entire book. It has, however, been indispensable in helping me make a successful career out of being a Windows System Administrator and IT consultant. Probably the best reference book I have ever used, and I keep it at my desk at the office.

Currently reading. Excellent summary (if you can call 1700 pages a summary) of the keypoints of Server 2003. A great reference manual so far...

This book was assigned for a class I took on Windows administration. It provides detailed description of how to administer a network under Windows Server '2003.
