Title: Very complete, without trying to impress
Product review: I was very pleased with this book, it seems it was written to provide a lot of information without the authors trying to impress everybody - real straightforward and pleasent to read. It has great coverage of active directory and carefully explained Windows 2000. The book also explains how Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4 relate to each other - very important since they will coexist for quite a long time. Then the book takes on the task of discussing Cisco networking and how that works on a NT and Windows 2000 network. I thought it went well beyond the basics (DEN, IOS issues, a bunch of Cisco hardware/software products) without going over my head. I think that the entire book really puts it all together well. If there were anything I would do to change this book would be to add more of the network blueprints they have in the middle of the book to cover more network designs.
