Congratulations Robbie, you have done, once again, a fantastic job. This book is going to be a staple for advanced AD administrator's. I have to agree with Rick, I didn't quite realize the magnitude of what Robbie was doing until I had the book in my hands (this afternoon!). Go get it.
Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Rick Kingslan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 26, 2003 3:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] All - Most of you have read the threads that have accompanied the journey that began some months ago when Robbie announced that he was writing a new book - "The Active Directory Cookbook" (published by O'Reilly) - which covers some very cool 'how-to' information on Windows 2000 and 2003 Active Directory (and supporting players). Some of you may also be aware that Joe Richards, Todd Myrick, Gil Kirkpatrick, Tony Murray, Kevin Sullivan, and I were invited to assist with the Technical Review of the book. I mentioned to some folks that this book is an "Active Directory FAQ on steroids". I truly didn't realize the gravity of this statement until I had the book in my hands. Yes, O'Reilly kindly sent me (as well, I'm sure, the rest of the reviewers) a copy of the book. And, it now is happily bookended with the 'Cat' book - Robbie and Alistair Lowe-Norris' brilliant "Active Directory 2/e" and Robbie and Richard Puckett's "Managing Enterprise Active Directory Services". Add to this a couple more books, and you will have a full, definitive reference on the totality of understanding, managing, designing, scripting, and generally surviving Active Directory - successfully. I admit it - I'm probably biased. But, I think that the Tuna book is due to become a classic reference for Active Directory. It has a unique and fresh approach to doing things that you're not going to find documented in one place. So, if you don't have a copy of the 'Tuna' reserved yet, Amazon is taking reservations - as well as you're local Borders or Barnes and Noble. What ARE you waiting for? ;-) Rick Kingslan MCSE, MCSA, MCT Microsoft MVP - Active Directory Associate Expert Expert Zone - www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
