Windows 2000 Professional Expert Companion (Eu-Expert Companion) Book

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional has a lot of things going for it, but useful online documentation--particularly if you are not totally clueless about what you want to do and how to do it--is not one of them. Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Expert Companion does a good job of explaining how to use the operating system in terms that, while often too basic for the "Expert" mentioned in the title, won't insult the intelligence of a generally capable Windows 2000 user. If you are an administrator of a Windows 2000 network, you would be wise to keep this book on hand as a resource for users who come to you with questions about how to make adjustments to their workstations. It will come in handy when you have to tweak user machines yourself as well.Authors Craig Stinson and Carl Siechert provide lots of background information on numerous topics and frequently insert useful blurbs on potential pitfalls. (They cover easily neglected stuff, like forgetting to open a port in your firewall for time-synchronisation services.) Where appropriate, Stinson and Seichert give you step-by-step instructions for accomplishing tasks, reinforced by tables that enumerate options and alternatives. Overall, this is a highly effective (if unexciting) book about configuring Windows 2000 Professional. --David WallRead More
