Customer Reviews

The best, by the best

If you're looking for an SMS book written by the leading industry leader on the subject, this is it. Rod takes a huge subject and breaks it down into easily digestible text. You can literally sit down with this book and read it in a day -- and retain everything. I learned so many ways to optimize my SMS site with this book, that I had a)never thought of, and b)never thought possible. I refer to this book constantly....this book is a very valuable resource to new and old SMS Admins.

Best catch-all book on SMS!

I've read quite a few books on SMS, but this one seems to go the extra mile. Its not a reference or walk-through guide, because there are plenty of those available. This takes you past the documentation that is already out there. I read it completely through the first day I received it, and can honestly say I know more about SMS before I bought it. It gives you best practices on installing SMS throughout your company, and that was one key thing I couldn't find in other books. Each chapter also has a "checklist" of the SMS 2.0 workflow. I've seen Microsoft's flowcharts and they are confusing. Admin911's workflow checklists show you step-by-step what is going on behind the scenes, and it gives you things to watch out for along the way. Excellent book!

Excellent referrence for SMS administrators!

Awesome book! Found myself referring to it all the time and finding new tips at the same time. Great tool, especially if you're just about to introduce SMS 2.0 onto your network inrastructure.

Excellent Book

There are a lot of good tips and tricks in this book that Microsoft does not readliy publish. I would recommend this book to anyone that is currently working with or thinking of Implementing SMS 2.0 in their environment. One of the best books that I have read on the subject.

Precise and quick!

I love the nature of the book and how easy it read. It was precise and at a pretty low level.
