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.

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?  ;-)
