Full Description

Anyone who installs Windows NT, creates a user, or adds a printer is an NT system administrator (whether they realize it or not). This book organizes NT's complex GUI interface, dialog boxes, and multitude of DOS-shell commands into an easy-to-use quick reference for anyone who uses or manages an NT system. It features a new tagged callout approach to documenting the GUI as well as real-life examples of command usage and strategies for problem solving, with an emphasis on networking. Windows NT in a Nutshell will be as useful to the single-system home user as it will be to the administrator of a 1,000-node corporate network.
  • Covers both Workstation and Server versions of NT
  • Written primarily for NT 4.0, but still useful for 3.51
  • Presents the GUI hierarchy with callouts to provide easy-to-locate documentation of options, buttons, and dialogs
  • Covers the DOS-shell commands in great detail, as these come into increasing use by the experienced NT user when managing large and complex installations
  • Includes an extensive index that quickly directs you to both GUI and DOS-shell methods of accomplishing a task, without requiring you to wade through unrelated material
  • Examples demonstrate NT interoperating with UNIX, Novell Netware, and Apple Macintosh systems

Windows NT in a Nutshell Review,  July 08 2000

This is a must-have book for any NT Server or Workstation user. It focuses on command-line utilities and always gets right to the point. Every page is gold.

Media reviews "The 'Nutshell' Windows NT book is the antidote to those deliberately obscure Microsoft manuals on NT4 that are enough to reduce grown men and women to tears. Even the other members of the after-market book trade seem unable to produce an NT4 volume under 1,000 pages and several pounds...Windows NT4 is a wonderful operating system, but without help like 'Nutshell,' it may not be worth the effort"
--A.T.Connellan, Write.net online

"Excellent quick reference, organized from the user's perspective."

"This book is a good desktop reference. It is short, concise and well laid out."
