Product Description:
Special Edition Using Windows 2000 Professional explores the synergy between Windows 2000 Professional and the corporate and Windows power users' desktop. Windows 2000 Professional is aimed directly at the power user who values the security, stability and networking capabilities of Windows 2000 alongside the ease and familiarity of the Windows 9x user interface. SE Using Windows 2000 covers upgrading from Windows 9x and Windows NT 4, working with the enhanced Windows 2000 interface, setting up Internet connections, configuring network security, working remotely, "Internetworking" with Windows 2000 Server, Windows 9x, Linux, Novell and Macintosh. Also includes extensive coverage of networking (including Virtual Private Networks) customizing the Windows interface and working with the Windows 2000 Registry.

Amazon.com Review:
The problem with the Microsoft Windows 2000 family of operating systems is that they were designed by techies, for techies. Networks built around Windows 2000, with Server in the back room and Professional on everyone's personal machine, are reliable, secure, and easy to manage--which does you precisely no good if you're not a technical person but you just want to figure out how to print to the color printer in the other room without waiting all day for the network person to get to your cube. Special Edition Using Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional can help you out. It explains the workings of Windows 2000 Professional in no-nonsense terms that, while dry, will allow you to get the computer stuff out of the way as soon as possible, so you can get back to your real work. It's not a bad reference if you happen to be the network person either, as a matter of fact.

Like the other books in this series, this large volume combines background text (which explains, to cite two examples, printer naming conventions and local area network operating principles), followed by no-frills procedures. This book, unlike most of its series mates, includes troubleshooting flow diagrams to help you pinpoint problems. Do you see such and such a condition? If so, try this. If not, check for this other symptom. The troubleshooting trees go on like that, helping inexperienced problem solvers check the right things and preventing experienced engineers from missing details. The flow diagrams are a great addition to a respected format. --David Wall

- Another version of W2K Online Help
This book is 5.5 pounds and 1600 pages of material that already exists (mostly) in the W2K package and, while the presentation is OK, much of it comes from Beta versions and much of it was changed with the final product plus 2 Service Paks, a Compatibility Update, and some Java patches. I don't mean to demean the work that went into 1600 pages (and even more is on the CD), but after all that work, much is missing. Screen captures are slightly larger than postage stamps. Most of the graphs and ... Read More

- Excellent OS book
I've not bought a book on an OS since NT 4. My intent is to use this and the Windows 2000 Professional Expert Companion as a reference. I find this book to be more useful than the other. The explanations are clear and covers topics well. The other book is good but I find coverage of some topics less complete. Just the installation section is impressive covering most setup scenarios from dual boot with Win9x, NT or Linux to triple boot with the aforementioned OSes. I really enjoy the security suggestions ... Read More

- A first class guide
While my copy of the MS Windows 2000 Professional Resource Kit sits on my bookshelf, Que's Windows 2000 Professional Special Edition sits right beside my computer - because it's so much easier to find the answers I need in it.

Cowart and Knittel write clearly and succinctly and they use lots of graphics and other visual aids to explain each topic. Most chapters include both troubleshooting and tips sections.

Finding where to look in this massive book is so easy. First, the single page ... Read More

- A wonderful book, plus some bonuses
I bought this SE Using Windows 2000, and Mark Minasi's Mastering Windows 2000 pro. Here I will comment and recommend you this book.
As many other SE books, this book is written and proofread by pros, who give you the ins outs and tips on doing things in this new OS. But you also get much more than this:
You get a Cd that I usually skip till I read the whole book, and then there comes the surprise :

- Thanks to God for these two guys!
Coming from Windows 98, where I felt fairly comfortable and was knowledgeable enough, I can say if it were not for these two guys, I would not have been able to install Windows 2000 Professional on my machine, and set it up so that it doesn't consume as much resources; and set up my own Web Server, using IIS, just to name a couple of things.

These guys took a lot of time to get down to the tiniest details you will need to know to get started, and get you going (it covers fairly advanced topics ... Read More
