Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!
Comment: We are quite amazed that this was even released with as many errors and outright OMMISSIONS as it had!! It was ridiculous! Some of the chapters towards the end of the book "featured" illustrations that didn't match the text at all. Also, some text referred to illustrations that didn't exist etc... This is the absolute WORST "Secrets" book we have ever purchased. We still intend to pursue getting our money back for this fiasco.

Summary: No Secrets here!
Comment: I have W98 Secrets and Linux Secrets which are good books. NT Secrets is worthless. The Secret is that there are no Secrets in this book. If you remove material from the book that doesn't deal with NT or is just NT marketing, you lose about 75% of the book. The little material left is nothing that you couldn't get from normal documentation. If you are looking to get any in-depth knowledge of NT, this book is not the one to get.

Summary: This book nails it
Comment: Mr. Brelsford hits the nail right on the head with this book. I have been an NT Administrator for (2) years now and have had numerous challenges (i.e., "simple ones") that I could never get easy answers for from other sources. His 12 items of the "Daily Dozen" are great. I have found that I am doing probably only 4-5 of these. Without a senior administrator to learn from, I have had to learn NT 4.0 Server/Networks OJT. I especially was appreciative of his tip on creating a small boot partition. Having had to restore with the Emergency setup, this made the next one a cool breeze.

The section on TCP/IP was finally said in a way that I could grasp and utilize it fully (i.e., LAN Internet connectivity, DNS, DHCP, WINS)and put it to good use for our R&D.

This book makes everything I have been doing pull together. I would highly recommend this one to those of us with "short" experience with NT Server 4.0 networks. Thank you.
