Great troubleshoot section; good preview for Minasi book May 5, 2002
There're 3 sections: project manager's guide to w2k server migration (150 pages), overview of DHCP, WINS, DNS, AD, and a troubleshooting AD chapter.The ProjMgmt chapters (1-6) are a good read for anybody who's migrating or doing clean installs, Wilson's clearly seen many many cases of what can go awry and gives a lot of solid advice, both of the forest/domain/OU setup and of the softer planning/implementation/getting management buyin type. Chapters 7-11 are DHCP/DNS/AD/interoperability survey, they're nowhere near the depth/breadth of Minasi (now in 4th Edition), but they're excellent prep for Minasi, written at an intermediate level. You won't know enought to manage a large forest, but you'll have a solid conceptual understanding. The interoperability section's thin, it's really about integrating Exchange and NetWare, it doesn't mention Services for Unix/MAC, samba, etc. AD troubleshooting section will save you time and anguish: nltest and browstat will become your friends. If you don't buy book, at least borrow it,read the last chapter. Downsides: index kinda skimpy, minor typos of capitalization/font type throughout, some superfluous screen scrapes. Other than that, a really solid presentation of the topic in 500 pages.
