Full Description

Anyone who installs Windows 2000, creates a user, or adds a printer is a 2000 system administrator. This book covers all the important day-to-day administrative tasks, and the tools for performing each task are included in a handy easy-to-look-up alphabetical reference. What's the same and what's different between the Windows 2000 and Windows NT platform? Has the GUI or the networking architecture changed, and if so, how? Windows 2000 Administration in a Nutshell addresses the problems associated with bridging the gap between the Windows NT and Windows 2000 platforms. This book covers:

Commonalities and differences between Windows NT and Windows 2000
All the administrative tasks, including Installation, Group Policies, Terminal Services, User Accounts, and Virtual Private Networks
Microsoft Management Console tool (MMC)
What's new and significant in the Control Panel utilities
Command-line Tools, Utilities and Wizards
TCP/IP networking with Windows 2000

Whether the concern is new security issues or how Active Directory works, Windows 2000 Administration in a Nutshell is as useful to the single-system home user as it is to the administrator of a 1,000-node corporate network.

I am the Systems Administrator for a small, private college and I keep this book on my desk at all times. I have found it to be extremely readable and especially useful. It kicked the socks off the $70.00 Microsoft Windows 2000 Administration book I bought at the same time.

just received a copy. finding the sections on Utilities and Commands very useful. i was trying (by using help and trial-and-error) to develop a set of commands that i could use remotely. this is much easier - although it would be even more useful for this web page to supply a quick summary sheet,

This book must not be for me. I've been waiting for ANY bookstore (and I've checked at least ten) to get this book in stock. Was suppose to come out in December, then January, then February. Microsoft will be releasing a new operating system (maybe 2001) before I find this book. I give up!!!!!!!

"If you're going to Windows 2000 I strongly recommend two O'Reilly books. 'Windows 2000 Pro--The Missing Manual' by Sharon Crawford, and 'Windows 2000 Administration in a Nutshell' by Mitch Tulloch. If you need help these don't supply, you probably need a guru. "
