Product Description

Product Description
This book provides a complete plan for setting up an Internet and intranet server using Microsoft′s Internet Information Server. The bonus to ISS is that its free with Windows NT, and has a lot of added features that Webmasters want.

From the Back Cover
Everything you’ll need to know to get the most out of Microsoft’s long–awaited Internet Information Server Now, with the Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0 Sourcebook, Webmasters and network administrators alike have the best information available on how to install, configure, and customize this latest advance in Web–based technology—all in clear and easy–to–follow language. This invaluable guide first covers the basics of Windows NT and installing, configuring, and troubleshooting Internet Information Server. Then, IIS is broken down and built back up piece–by–piece, with special attention paid to nonstandard installations and Internet Service Manager, IIS’s built–in management tool. There’s in–depth coverage of one of IIS’s most important features, NT–based tools, as well as one of the Web’s most important topics—security. Add–ons, upgrades, ISAPI, Index Server, NetShow, and the latest Web–oriented extensions like db Web and FrontPage 97 are all there, up–front, and ready for action. You’ll also get:
  • Complete coverage of the newest release, Internet Information Server 4.0
  • NT Server from the ground up, from features and constraints to installation and configuration of the NOS
  • A step–by–step explanation of the whole IIS package
  • Mastery of IIS’s unique and powerful WWW, FTP, and Gopher capabilities
  • Special quick–reference appendices for every imaginable topic on both NT Server 4.0 and Internet Server Manager, as well as listings of online and print resources for the latest on IIS
Plus, an extensive glossary that reviews such important terms as 10Base2 and 10BaseT; ethernets, intranets, and the Internet; firewalls; OSI; rights and privileges; routings; TCP/IP; topologies; and much more. Visit our Web site at www.wiley.com/compbooks/

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is real bad!, 21 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I am embarrassed that I did not look at this book long enough to recognize that the author knew nothing about NT and IIS before she started writing and almost nothing after she was finished. The publisher should be ashamed of releasing this book to the public. It is an example of greed. It was available to hit the shelves before nearly anything else on IIS 4.0 so those of us who needed to master the newest version of Information Server had little else to choose from when I bought it in April, 1998. Now I would say that absolutely every other book available is a better choice. I wonder what it feels like to offer something this bad to the public. I hope I never find out.

1.0 out of 5 stars The title!, 19 May 1998
By A Customer
It is IIS3 for NT4. There is one chapter in the back regarding IIS4.0. Mostly it is an NT book writen from a lab perspective on a weak machine by authors who really don't know the subject as us professionals do. Waste of $ I took it back

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay away from this "book". I want my money back., 11 Mar 1998
By A Customer
The nicest thing I can say about this book is that it would be nice if I got my money back. The book is filled with fluff and screen shots, IIS 3.0 drivel, and plenty of filler and errors. You want fluff? There's a very meager section in the book about BIOSes, and how an 850 meg drive was substituted for a 1.2 gig hard drive because "NT would not install on the newer, higher capacity drive". If this book was written when 1.2 gig drives were "newer and higher capacity", some serious revision is in order. This BIOS section is next to useless, and what is it doing in a book (allegedly) on IIS 4.0? I bought the book hoping that FrontPage extensions would be covered. They were, in a few screen shots, with one screen shot captioned "You can very closely configure the Server Extensions with this tool." (sic). And sick.
