Active Directorya for Microsofta Windows Servera 2003 Technical Reference

I have several AD related books, but this one is on the top list. There are many details, hints, tips and tricks that you cant find anywhere else. Amazing book!

Everything rolled perfectly..the shipping and paying. It's great book for those who have a good knowledge of Active Directory from Microsoft. I recommend it for those who want to develop for this kind of technology.

It's better than most AD books from MS Press. A great resource and not a bad cover to cover read either. Something very hard to say about MS press books. If you just need more of an understanding of AD and how everything works together in 2003, than grab this book. it will be worth it.

While I generally have a low opinion of the quality of MS Press books, this one is absolutely the best book I've read on active directory. It is clear, concise, authoritative, and comprehensive. Don't waste your time or money with any other books on Active Directory. I was given this book for free for attending a Microsoft Technet briefing and commented sarcastically to my colleague sitting next to me, oh great another MS Press book. I decided to read it on a whim, and boy was I surprised and even impressed. This book not only explains very detailed functionality within active directory, but also covers high level planning and design and does a phenomenal job of tieing it all together so that the information is useful. Don't let the size of this book fool you. Every Windows 2003 Administrator should have this book on their shelf. RT MCT, MCSE, MCDBA, MCSA

When I first took this book at the local bookstore, I was astonished by its simplicity, straightforward and structured arrangements of explaining the active directory concepts. Unlike any other books that guide you toward the design process and explains jargons inline within the text, or using insets below the pages; this book introduces and explains EVERY JARGON FIRST as the building blocks of the active directory. The way it is arranged is that, every component of the active directory has its own section of explanation, which makes easier to find as reference. Besides, the book has a very good flow, i.e: the concept of "domain" must come before "trusts"; which makes even easier for new learners to catch up. The thing I like most about this book is its modularity, so you can learn one thing at a time and master it before going to the mnext concept; so you wont keep forgetting or getting things mixed up (you won't be confused on where to start, or saying "huh?") I like this book very much, and would like to recommend it to others, whether you're an MCSE with 10 yrs of experience, or just a newbie; you'll love this book!
