Summary: Fixing Problems the First Day
Comment: What a goldmine this book has been already! I've been an SMS Administrator for a couple of years and was already familiar with Rod Trent from his great SMS books. Microsoft released a tool to report SMS information in web format. Of course, being Microsoft, the web reporting tool must run on IIS. I've not worked with IIS before, so when I found out that Rod had also written a book on IIS, I bought it. And, like so many times before in the SMS books, I was fixing some IIS problems the first day when I ran into a problem connecting FrontPage to the IIS server. The troubleshooting chapter alone has already saved my butt. Great book! Highly recommended!

Summary: *****10 STARS***** Don't listen to the negatives up here
Comment: It's excellent! It's a perfect book for someone like me who got dumped into the position of NetAdmin with very little knowledge of anything server related. I am flying by the seat of my pants and this book is my worthy, knowlegable co-pilot! It has been the one book that has saved our network from certain doom at the hands of a kicking and screaming newbie (no, i didn't want the job, it just fell to me...)
If you read it, it's just fantastic. Start at page one and go all the way through. I know it's not as fun as hanging out drinking a brew with the girlz (or boyz) but if you do it, you will reap the rewards. It will take you from newbie lack of confidence to having enough confidence to run your network AND you get enough about other technologies to know where to start looking for information if/when you need it.
Some of the reviews here are really negative. One person said that in no place did the book mention virtual directories. Well, I just did a search of the books contents right here on Amazon and it came up with 46 references to virtual directories. So I think that if people don't like this book it is because they aren't reading it.
So do yourself and your company a favor and just buy the book already. I can't recommend it highly enough.
I can only rate this with 5 starz cuz thats all Amazon offers, but I really mean 10. Okay? Buy it.

Summary: Not a good book on IIS : it describes , it does not explain
Comment: I bought this book in order to master IIS for my own web site and for those of my clients.
I am very disappointed.
This book has 486 pages and only 33 pages are covering one of the most important subject which is the IIS Web Server.
This book does not explain the things but describes them. For example, the chapter about the Web server is in fact nothing more than a description of the different menus : if you click on this menu than you'll click on this menu, if check that box than you'll check that box and so on.
Instead, I would have expected to have explanations of how to set up a web server: What is a home directory ? what is a virtual directory ? how it works ? why would you use them ?...
By the way, the book does not talk about this important notion of virtual directory (apart one line at the end of the book in appendix C).
On the other hand, the book has also many pages talking about subjects that are not directly related to its title.
Instead of talking about W2K Exchange 2000 or W2K Active Directory it would have been much more profitable to have a better explanation of how the IIS SMTP Server works.
