Summary: I know about that but how do you use it!!
Comment: I bought this book because the one I was looking for wasnt available in the store. Im still kicking myself for not being more patient and looking online first. The main problem I have is that it briefly explains many of the features but never seems to tell you enough about using and configuring them to be useful. If your a complete beginner and just want to get to know some of the features of Windows 2000 this book might be ok. For advanced users you should try another book.
All is not lost though...Its 1000+ pages makes for a great door stop.

Summary: McGraw Hill should stick to high school text books...
Comment: This book should NOT be called a complete reference. It should be called INTRO to windows 2000 prof./server. It offers VERY brief discussions on some of the most important topics....IIS, configuring user profiles for access rights. Don't buy this book if you want something that will GUIDE you and EXPLAIN the parameters you are changing and configuring. Someone mentioned they used this book for the MCSE...i have no idea how they could have used this book and passed the test. Someone...PLEASE change the title from REFERENCE to INTRO, BRIEF, or something of this nature.

Summary: The Complete Reference is FAR from Complete
Comment: I ordered this book to assist with tasks like setting a global wallpaper for all users, and other specific items. All this book entails on that topic is how to change the wallpaper. It mentions manditory profiles, but does not instruct how to create or use them. In one small paragraph on the topic it tells you to see a previous section. That previous section just tells you to see the section that just refered you to the previous section. Ever hear of the term--endless loop?
Overall, I'm very disapointed and I feel I wasted 40 bucks. Plus, I am now hesitant to purchase books without being able to browse them first.
