The Windows NT and Windows 2000 Answer Book provides hundreds of FAQ- style questions and answers to common (and obscure) administration problems in the Windows family of operating systems. As a guide to real-world troubleshooting, this book will be a nearly indispensable resource for Windows administrators.
The most appealing feature of this book is that it contains material that the Enterprise Windows administrator needs on a daily basis. Besides giving expert tips the book refuses to ignore obvious questions about installing, configuring and optimising Windows NT/2000. In these pages you will find dozens of tips on setting up Windows (including networking options), with full coverage of procedures for adding users, groups and domains. Sections on service packs give invaluable advice on which ones are available and how to apply them correctly.
Along with the basics the book also shows off today's back-end tools required for the corporate intranet, including material on Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name System (DNS), and Remote Access Service (RAS). The section on using and administering a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) is also a standout here, as are the numerous tips on customising (and often disabling) Windows 2000 desktop features for complete control of the desktops of your enterprise.
Alhough this information is in a FAQ format many questions get comprehensive treatment (and several pages of text) along with screenshots at certain points to help you through some of the more important administrative tasks. With its mix of breadth and depth for the real-world Windows administrator The Windows NT and Windows 2000 Answer Book proves to be a real time-saving resource for installing and troubleshooting Windows in the enterprise.--Richard Dragan
