Negative Positive
Title: easy to understand
Review: Does the complexity of a program ever decrease? Rarely, for commercially important programs. And Microsoft Windows Server is no exception. As Microsoft revs up its Server versions, so too does the need for a book like this increase. Allen gives us over 300 recipes or hacks or tips about some sysadmin task that you might be trying.The chapters are defined by the broad categories of these tasks. To a large extent, the chapter topics can be recognised by a sysadmin of any operating system - managing disks, running jobs, handling processes and so on. But some chapters are indeed very Microsoft-specific. Dealing with the Registry, IIS, Active Directory and Exchange Server.All the recipes have the merit of being quick to read and understand. Which is the attraction. If you have a syadmin problem, it is worth checking here first, just in case. You can easily see whether or not a solution presents itself.
