Editorial Reviews

As more organizations convert to Microsoft's newest server software, expect continued demand for current guides (see also Computer Media, LJ 7/03). For frustrated administrators unafraid of registry edits, Undocumented provides useful yet hard-to-find, step-by-step "fixes, tips, tricks, and tools" to improve performance and ease of use in both Windows Server 2000 and 2003. Each tip indicates a projected risk level for use in a production environment, as well as Microsoft's take, a list of what is needed, and notes with cautions and additional info. Accessible and useful; recommended for larger libraries to supplement more basic how-to guides. For experienced Windows administrators, Inside provides step-by-step instructions for installing Server 2003 and working with new features. Useful troubleshooting sections in most chapters and a section on recovering from system failures help identify procedures for when things don't go as planned. A friendly tone and straightforward instructions make this a winner for all libraries. For intermediate to experienced administrators, Ultimate focuses on Server 2003 but also includes information for 2000 administrators, discussion of the differences between the two, and comparisons of different 2003 editions. More than a how-to, it goes under the hood to describe architecture, helping administrators understand how components interact. Readers will also find a detailed guide to planning and installing Server 2003, followed by a discussion of the spectrum of administrative activities. A thorough appendix lists commands and utilities; there is coverage of IIS that Inside lacks. A good comprehensive guide for all libraries. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
