Get ready to rumble with Windows Nt Server

I currently work as an Oracle DBA using Windows Nt Server 4.0 as the operating system. Part of my job requires maintaining two Nt Server 4.0 machines and One standalone Server. I use the Standalone Server as an Internet Information Server with Front Page 98 clients, Back Office Products, and Visual Interdev development environments. The Windows Nt Servers are used to run Oracle Database in a client server environment. I used the Windows Nt Bible to set up a Primary Domain Control a Backup Domain Control, set up a client connect to a Network client, and activate the Windows Internet Server on the Standalone server. The key characteristics, I found appealing in the book was: the book was written with the idea, the reader wants to implement a Nt server immediately (cut the fluff). The second concept, I liked was each chapter provided concise descriptions that help the reader understand the Windows Nt Server Architecture, such as, network layers, network adapters, communication protocols, growing your network, and installing internet information server. The third concept, I like was the interesting stories relating to the authors experiences while working a Microsoft. The stories are just, cool! Bottom line, the book work for me, to get my job done. I believe the Window Nt Server book can help you get started using Windows Nt Server 4.0!

East or West this book is simply the Best

If you want to fall in love at first sight with WindowsNT then this book is a must read. There is no book that takes a beginner so easily, smoothly into any subject as this fabulous book by Cowart and Gregg. Thank you Guys.

A must!! in todays networking enviroment

As a new comer to Windows NT, I found this to be the best written, and most easy to read text on Windows NT. The amount of pages seems overwhelming at first, but to my surprise I read most of it within a week and shortly thereafter installed and configured my firts NT Server, and added and managed user accounts. Examples are clear and to the point. Your library will not be complete without it. Buy this book and avoid spending thousands on courses. You'll be glad you did.

The bees knees!

This book is fabulous. It is every bit educational with a good dose of fun. This book starts from the baby steps, and builds on a clear track to the marathons of NT's possibilities. If NT does it or is supposed to, it's in there. This is not your typical "RTFM" technical guide, it is actually a pleasure to read and easy to learn a from. Buy a pitbull for guarding it at work, it's worth the investment.
