Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

If you install or support Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Professional Resource Kit is near-essential. It is worth having for the utilities alone, with over 200 tools and scripts for management and problem solving on the supplied CD. A few examples include utilities for registry backup and restore, process viewing and management, memory analysis and monitoring, a handy network clipboard, and the ability to lock floppy drives as a precaution against viruses.

Then, of course, there is the book. With over 1750 pages this is value for money but not armchair reading. It is divided into several parts, covering deployment and installation, system configuration, network configuration, performance monitoring and troubleshooting. There are chapters on inter-operating with Netware, Unix and IBM systems. Each topic is covered in-depth, so for instance you get 60 pages on file systems, mostly devoted to NTFS (NT File System). If the worst comes to the worst and the system crashes, the chapter on Windows 2000 stop messages tells you how to interpret the dreaded blue screens. Another vital topic is security, and here there is full information about user rights and permissions, the Encrypted File System, public key security and how to protect portable computers. There is also a detailed index and glossary.

This is a reference book and you are unlikely to read it cover-to-cover. The presentation is dry, and it is emphatically not a book aimed at end-users. Its value is in providing a single comprehensive resource, including information not found in typical third-party guides. --Tim Anderson

5.0 out of 5 stars A full resource, 6 April 2000
Everything you would expect a resource kit to be.

If you are a systems administrator or ANYBODY looking to deploy Windows 2000, you should buy this.

It really shows you the depth of this new OS and how you need to carefully plan your installation. Well worth the asking price. The 40 odd quid will be well spent when you dont make some of the fatal mistakes most people will.

1.0 out of 5 stars Some light reading...NOT!, 28 Nov 2000
By A Customer
First impressions of this really fat book is that it MUST contain a HUGE amount of info.

Sadly, however, the first thing I wanted to check out in it wasn't there! I wanted more information on Direct Connection setup, and some info on how to solve some problems I am having with DC to a Win95 desktop from my Win2000 laptop. The book made only the most casual mention of Direct Connection, with no details or any other info! Not exacly what one would like...

Possibly it will help the next time I need more info about optimising my use of Win2000, but so far I'm dissapointed. My Windows 95 Secrets book was far more helpful in my Win95 environment than this book has been in the Win2000 environment.

For a book supposedly aimed at the professional it misses its target.

To sum up: If you are a Microsoft "must-have" then you'll enjoy this book. For everyone else out there, give it a miss.
