Summary: A Technical Must Have for the Power User
Comment: Senior Network/Systems Administrator
A must-have for the NT Power User. Both robust on theoretical knowledge about OS architecture, internals, etc. and rich in tips, tools, advice, right-on-target details and hands-on examples about utilities usage. Strong chapters include Deployment, Security, Printing, Tuning and Optimization, File system, Recovery, Troubleshooting, Registry, OS startup, compatibility, Networking and even the NT debugger. Rather common content for NT books, but this one is really packed with useful information. It isn't so much an on-the-spot problem solver. Yet this very technical book is an excellent reference on many advanced subjects for which information is not easily found elsewhere. It is also the kind of books that can actually be read from cover to cover : it provides the solid, in-depth, detailed knowledge of the OS that all serious NT administrators should have. Don't go without it.

Summary: Most useless book on my bookshelf
Comment: I have had this book since it came out in 1996. When I found it, I was excited - I thought it was going to give me all of this great systems administrator level information about Windows NT. I happily picked up a copy to keep on my bookshelf for reference. I am _still_ awaiting the day where this book is going to give me some useful information.
Over the last 4 years I've come across numerous situations in which something funky was going on with my NT box and I needed more information to diagnose the problem. Every time, I've gone to this book. Not ONCE has the book had an answer to my question! But, the book is SO huge, I keep thinking that there really MUST be some question out there I'm going to have that it will answer. Yet, it always amazes me with a complete lack of an answer -- typically in the form of "see your System Administrator". Uh, hello? What book are system administrators supposed to get then? Or what if you run NT at home and don't have a system administrator? This book touts itself as if it's the book FOR system administrators and then it tells them to "see their system administrator." (ayeeee!)
Thank god I'm just a programmer, not a sys admin and thus only disappoint myself when I can't find the answer. I just remain baffled that Microsoft could fill 1300 pages without an ounce of useful information.
Anyway, I've upgraded my NT systems to 2000 so I'm going to chuck the book -- just thought I'd offer a warning to others about it before it went completely out of my memory.

Summary: Still the definitive WinNT reference!
Comment: This book, along with the Windows NT Server resource kit, provides the best reference to how NT works on a day-to-day administration level. (For even more detail, go get the excellent "Inside Windows NT" book from MS Press.) This book teaches things like automated setup, policies and profiles, how the registry works, and everything else a good NT admin needs to know. It's much more comprehensive than the online help, and the price is right for such a useful book. There are other thousand-page tomes on administering NT, but this is the best one I've read, and should be the starting point for every admin.
