Mark Minasi's,
Mastering Windows NT Server 4 has long been considered the premier reference guide for NT administration. The seventh edition includes new chapters covering the Resource Kit and a preview of Windows 2000 Server. Together with its companion reference,
Mastering Windows NT Workstation4 it once again confirms Mark's position as a leading author and teacher of NT networking.
Minasi writes in an easy-going, often amusing yet to-the-point style. He fills the book with clear step-by-step answers to those "How do I" questions you're likely to ask when setting up an NT network for the first time. But seasoned NT professionals are also likely to visit Mastering Windows NT Server 4 regularly, and many use the book as a study aid for MCSE certification. It provides comprehensive coverage--from the basics of NT administration to managing your NT Server--across a multiple-platform enterprise network. One notable chapter includes a detailed 200-page examination of using TCP/IP on NT. Another has helpful insights into understanding (and tweaking if required) the NT Registry.
There's so much worthy of mention in this 1,700-page volume that the book's extensive index and full searchable text on the accompanying CD are indispensable aids to finding what you want. Owners of the sixth edition may want to consider whether the additional material in this edition makes it a worthwhile purchase. However, for everyone else, including owners of earlier editions, this is an essential reference.--Peter Lunn
