Negative Positive
Title: Don't rely on it...
Review: This long-awaited follow up to the 4.5 Resource Kit has been a great disappointment. (Don't take my word for it - go look at the comments in the SBS2000 newsgroup)I'm not into denigrating other people's work, but this book really doesn't have any plus points.To be brief: - it fails to explain essential concepts, with each chapter having hardly any logical connection with those preceding it - the text is peppered with terms and acronyms which go undefined - there are few graphic examples or practical walkthroughs - what walkthroughs there are (e.g. for setup wizards) do little beyond provide hard copy screenshots of the SBS dialog boxes - the graphic layout is poor - oversized headlines made me suspect that, in the absence of decent text, the editor resorted to padding out the book.I felt as if whoever did edit the book had no knowledge of network computing, never mind SBS.Sorry, but this is a lemon.
Is the review positive or negative?
