1000 Pages should be 250
15 Jan 2005
Let me give you the example of what he consider's "Best Practices" "BEST PRACTICE: Rumor has it that, in Radmond, this area is called RUP (Ryhmes with pup, like puppy). If you call Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS), you could say RUP and arrr-wuuu-wuuu, but your coworkers who overhear the telephone call might look at you kinda funny"
Isn't this hysterical?
If you're looking for bad jokes like this, then this is the book for you. It is full of them.
I didn't pay almost $60 for this book for this. You can buy mine on Amazon Marketplace.
About 1/2 of this book seems to have practical and accurate technical information, but you have to wade through all of this "cutsie" filler to get to it. And when you do, you sometimes don't get enough to really understand the issue.
I guess it would be ok for a beginner with a bad sense of humor and a lot of time on his/her hands.

"Click Next to go to the next screen...."
18 Aug 2004
This book is fine if you are a complete novice with absolutely no idea about using wizards, filling out forms or clicking on buttons. If you have any idea then you would be best served to spend your time going through the SBS wizards and then spending your money on a more insightful book. All it does is basically go through each of the screens in each of the wizards with little or no further information or explanation.
Added to this are the numerous references to numerous key note speeches, hands-on lab sessions and conferences which add little or nothing to assist the average reader. These are often preceded by a reference to the authors previous book and usually closely followed by a recommendation to read the authors next book for more (apparently useful and appropriate) information.
Very disappointed in what was recommended as a book for an advanced computer user but who had not used Windows server extensively. A five page leaflet on clicking buttons in wizards would have covered the majority of the book!

Lots of information and a comfortable writing style
21 Sep 2004
Being a computer network admin I have read many technical books over the years and almost all of them could put you to sleep. However, Harry's style is much more like a conversation than a dry lecture. The only other technical author I have found like that is Mark Minasi. This book does an excellent job of covering the important SBS topics and it offers many recommendations for other resources to help you learn and support the product. I learned a lot and I am looking forward to his advanced book in this series as well.
