Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Administration Instant Reference

I have had my copy for over a month and I can't live without it. I am mainly a Unix sysadmin and am actually pretty rusty with Windows Server 2008. This book has helped me build a completely functional domain and forest from the ground up on my own. I couldn't get by without it. Much more convenient than reading 60 articles on the web. Great reference and the author is very clear about even the most minute tasks.Highly recommend for administrators and anyone interested in Windows Server infrastructure!

Another eBook I keep on my tablet and work laptop for reference and instructional purposes. Fast, well-organized and clean. It is not really the sort of book a total newbie should use (it does require a certain level of understanding to even read it) but as a tool resource for an IT technician or professional IT worker, it is worth its cost twice over.

I was building just a test box to bring Server 2008R2 into our environment. It walks you through step-by-step how to plan for a server deployment. This is great because we have more work than we thought and were going to get most of it done before we even start the roll out. Prep work is important.

This is a quality book I was looking for a reference materails boot not a detailed archive. I am satisfied with the content and degree of details, I would reccomend this to a friend.

I've only had time to read the first 3 chapters and a little into chapter 4, but thus far I love the book. Great read. Has a ton of pictures to back what the book is talking about. Pretty good read for network administrators that are green or experienced veterans just looking to keep themselves up-to-date.

Very well written and laid out. If it's just a little thing, it's easy to reference, and if it's a more in depth question it breaks it down into baby steps. Good book to have if you are either a beginner, or you just don't have the whole OS memorized.

Covers key areas, clarified and solved issues that I have had, highly recommended! Everything that I expected to be covered as I read through the other positive reviews on here followed through.

Book has plenty of detail for an old Windows 2003 guy to be able to adapt prior knowledge to the newer Operating System. Well organized and written.

Amazon was a big help in my buying this book. Great for the Microsoft Expert as a reference.

can't do without it use it everyday

the best guide to have a right W2K8R2 administration and deploy.really good vendor has sent this book on time.

Muy buena relación calidad/precio, pues es un libro ameno y explica todo muy bien, pero le veo que falta contenido. Introduce sólo en lo básico de cada aspecto y le faltan muchos aspectos por mencionar. Aunque me ha venido bien para conceptos y similares (vengo de Unix), la mayoría de las cosas que se esperan de un Administrador no están indicadas.Recomiendo buscar muy bien la tabla de contenidos antes de decidirse, para ver si tiene lo que uno espera. Si es así, entonces adelante porque como comento esta muy bien explicado.
