Domain Name Com's - : Microsoft® Windows Server(TM) 2003 Inside Out

- Best technical book on Windows 2003...Outstanding
This is better than any other books out there that do nothing more than tell you how things SHOULD work; this tells you how things DO work. Our primary domain controller crashed and resisted all attempts at restores. We continued to have network problems with it out of the chain. I knew pretty much nothing about administering active directory (besides the basics of adding groups, users, etc.) and picked this book up to try to help us. There was a section in it about the first server that gets active directory installed serving as the operations master and how to seize that function to another server. After seizing that and a few others, our domain started behaving itself again. Along the way, I picked up some other useful knowledge and now our domain is actually running faster. The book also showed how to do proper back ups and restores of Active Directory so we never have this problem again.

I would echo what others said that this book will help you with specific problems. I was impressed with the author's use of real-world scenarios and experience as well as the graphics and screen shots to help you.

Highly recommended.

- Well worth your time and money
I've never written a review about a book before. This is the first one I feel required one because it is that good.

When I was looking for books on Windows Server 2003, I looked at a few other books on the topic and finally decided to get this. This is the best of the books I looked at. The book has a very logical approach to describing the complexities of Windows Server and is very well written.

This book is very in-depth and the author apparently has had a lot of experience as a consultant. This shows in the detailed design strategies presented for DNS, DHCP, Active Directoy and networking in general.

In addition to being up-to-date, you'll get some information in this book you probalby won't find any other places. I know I couldn't even after months of readings newsgroups and tracking Windows related sites. The most obvious example is the extensive coverage of Active Directory. Replication, GPO's, sites, implementation gets my top marks.

After buying this book, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the thorough explanations and examples. If there's one book you buy this year, I think this has got to be the one.

- Excellent W2K3 Administrators book
No Windows server book can cover every subject but Windows Server 2003 Inside Out comes close. Stanek's Inside Out is the second big Windows book I purchased (after Minasi's Mastering). In all honesty Stanek's is a more complete book but both are good.

Inside Out covers many topics not covered in Mastering including upgrades, migration, unattended installs (separate from RIS), clustering, DNS architecture, AD architecture, AD design, AD recovery, AD replication, group policy managment, print server migration, and the list goes on and on. Plus where it counts Inside Out is more detailed, accurate, and easy to understand.

With Inside Out, its details, details, details and it makes all the difference. Like when you are installing a domain controller Stanek remembers to tell you how to prepare, what to expect, and what to watch out for. He tells you how to search your entire system with a single command for encrypted files that will get hosed if you don't watch out and do what he says before installing. Stanek points out all the little tips and tricks.

I've always had a hard time learning things but this book made it so easy for me. Pick any subject, look it up in Stanek's book and read it to find out everything you wanted to know. One area of the os I thought I knew was the file system. It was an eyeopener to read Chapter 20. I didn't know you could do half of that with NTFS. Everything I've looked up has been this way so far.

I can't recommend this book highly enough! Microsoft should use this book in their training courses.

- Great Book, but MISSING info
I like this book, I really do. Its easy to read, has loads of useful info, but there is not anything to do with Routing, NAT, ICS, ICF etc...all of the real networking information is not here.

I'd hardly call it "Inside Out", more like "Missed Out".

The book is good, but its only worth 3 stars because its incomplete. Buy Mastering 2003 Instead. Much better.

- The best one for me
From now on I'm looking to see if William Stanek wrote a book on whatever computer or software I buy because I know if I buy it then I'll be ok. He makes everything easy. He writes as if he really cares if you understand the subject. I keep the Inside Out on my desk and refer to it often.

This is great, straight forward and concise. Concise? Its over 1500 pages BUT there's so much packed into every page it really is concise AND each subject covered is covered extremely well. Words cannot express how helpful Stanek is or the frustration and stress he can remove. Waiting for more wonderful insight into a computer/company that wishes they understood their own product as well as you. Thanks William Stanek.
