 Ed Tittel's first joke July 26, 2003

Do not purchase this book if you wish to do something with NT. It reads more like a Microsoft advertisement and is probably only useful for a non-computer literate corporate purchasing officer. If you really want to know about how to really use NT, buy Ed Tittel's Windows NT Server 4 for Dummies which also includes great hidden tips.
 The end all be all to introducing networks to any newbie! October 28, 1999

I feel that this book is essential to have in any small business to large business library. From the glossary of terms to the picture layout forum it enables any worker to be able to access needed info for daily duties and the inevitalble trouble shooting!!
 Good for those who are just starting! June 23, 1999

Those who are complaining that this book doesn't contain enough "meat" should remember that this book is meant only to get a basic grasp of terms and concepts and that other "meatier" books will be required to expand your knowledge. As a NEW NT4 Network Administrator, I appreciate the non-technical jargon and that they don't go too indepth. I learned what I needed to start...now onto those "techie" books!! P.S. My Network is running fantasically!!
 Lots of concept, not much application April 17, 1999

As a new administrator, I found the basics on network layout and topography interesting. I didn't however find much to sink my teeth into. The book will mention using a certain feature of NT, but then won't tell you how to actually use it. Little or no meat on these bones. How bout some real nuts and bolts of "this is how you do..." and a little less "we love Microsoft" and "use tape backups" to give me a tru reference guide and not a conceptual overview?

The first twelve chapters are repetitive to the point of nausea and read like a Microsoft sales brochure. Chapter 13 starts to be helpful and that's about as good as it gets. This book is good as a networking concepts basic NT overview only. This is not a "How to" book in any sense and God help the poor sole who may have tried to install NT from chapter nine. I especially like the hints to make sure you do this (you did do this, right?) at the end of the chapters, after it would have been too late. This one is not in the same class as the other "Dummies" books.
