Very Good 3 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback
The mastering series are generally quite good and this is no exception. It is very well written in plain language that makes most concepts easy to understand. Very well laid out with practical steps to follow to supplement the written material. It does simplify or miss some areas on the server which may be covered in future editions, however I think that this guide is the best of the bunch at the moment and is well worth the purchase.

New to Server 2008 R2 12 April 2010
Format:Paperback
I've messed about with computers for many years and seem to manage with most things eventually. However this particular book left me thinking OK, so the authors know quite a lot about this, but I am still left in the dark about how a beginner would commence with setting-up such a system. It's probably all there but certainly not geared up to a beginner. Lots of command line syntax which might be of more interest to a professional - but not the best solution for myself in setting-up a small business network in one building with 5 staff. The review at end of each section seems like the book is geared-up to someone taking an exam. I would like to have seen a basic flowchart for the novice to install a server solution - with reference to appropriate chapters, etc.Mastering Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
