DNS on Windows NT

I needed to get a grasp on DNS generally, and was told "DNS and BIND" was the best book existing. Unfortunately it was too fat a book for me. It spent too much time on BIND which was of no interest for me. Luckily I dicovered a slimmer version called "DNS on Windows NT" by the same authors. A fresh MCSE on NT4, I was really happy for this title. Full of expectations I started reading. And I was not dissapointed. It was like finding an easily accessible gold mine. So if you need knowledge on DNS generally, or on DNS on Windows NT4 specifically, don't hesitate. Buy this book!

This book is straightforward yet concise. I had no experience whatsoever with DNS before purchasing this book and now have all my DNS servers up and running with no problems. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs to set up a DNS Server on NT fast and effictively.

I am a technology consultant and find it very hard to find books which answer what I consider obvious questions on a topic. This book is not like that and goes into tedious details about how name resolution works and in an NT environment. I've bought dozens of technology books over the last few years but I had to give a review on this one. A must have for anyone new or experienced with DNS or Windows NT.

Being somewhat new to running a DNS server on the Win/NT platform, I thought a new book would be helpful. I found this book to be very useful and a 'must have' for anyone wanting to run a DNS server on an Windows NT 4.0 Server. The book is kind of broke into 3 sections; Chapters 1 - 2 talks about DNS theory, Chapters 3 - 10 how to set-up and maintain your own domain, Chapters 11 - 13 common problems and troubleshooting. I will keep this book forever like all of my O'Reilly books, and use it as a reference tool. Probably the best documentation you can find on Win/NT and DNS, and why not use it, its free and comes with Win/NT 4.0....
