THE book to use when the brown stuff is hitting the fan,
By A Customer
This review is from: Admin911: SMS (Admin911 Series) (Paperback)
If you want a book that gives you immediate solutions to real-world SMS problems then this is the one for you.As an SMS Consultant faced with some of these "challenges" and as the maintainer of the SMS FAQ website this book presents material I've not seen published else where. The layout is easy to read and the use of graphics to denote Tips, Notes, Bugs and other key information really contribute to making this book THE SMS book for anyone involved with SMS 2.0 You won't find a better book written by a better subject matter expert - well done Rod, keep writing.

When you're finished installing SMS...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Admin911: SMS (Admin911 Series) (Paperback)
...you need this book! I can't say the last time I sat down with a book and wanted to finish it before doing anything else (except for fiction books). As soon as I cracked the first page, I was hooked. I hope there is a sequel for this book!

The worst tech book I have ever read,
By "bkc42" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Admin911: SMS (Admin911 Series) (Paperback)
I do not consider myself to be an expert Systems Administrator, however, I do operate extremely competently at an intermediate level. I purchased this book in hopes of learning the basics of implementing and supporting SMS2.0. I was sadly disappointed.After reading the other 5-star reviews on this book I was under the impression that this was the end-all do-all text on the subject. When I received my copy what I found instead was a haphazard collection of gotchas, directory hierachy and registry listings. There was not much else in the way of actual instruction to help a SMS newbie master the product. I can see now that the 5-star reviews seem to be predominantly by experienced SMS admins. For them this volume is probably an excellent addition to thier tech library. But for those who desire their first introduction to SMS take my advice, don't walk, run from this one!! 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful:

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

There are a lot of good tips and tricks in this book that Microsoft does not readliy publish. I would recommend this book to anyone that is currently working with or thinking of Implementing SMS 2.0 in their environment. One of the best books that I have read on the subject.

This review is from: Admin911: SMS (Admin911 Series) (Paperback)
I love the nature of the book and how easy it read. It was precise and at a pretty low level.
