I am currently reading what I consider the best book I have read to date on Windows 2000. It's called "Mastering Windows 2000 Server" I have 4th ed. It's put out by SYBEX ISBN 0-7821-4043-2. It's deep though. I am just a beginner level network person in my perspective and it has shined so much light on so many topics so far, I just can't put it down. Unless you consider it weighs about 100 lbs.. It's a big book, small print, but you it does come on CD with the Book as well. Had problems getting CD to work until I installed version of Acrobat on CD.. I had a new version, but you can run multiple versions according to Adobe. I have to run V5 and then open up the PDF on the CD to use, but it does work.
I have read reviews that the 2000-2003 server book is just as good. BTW Mark Minasi is the Author, and lays it out quite well. I find he repeats himself some, but with my short memory it helps.. ha,ha..
RTFM.. OK, I had to look that up and LOL and :0 and ;) and :) best defines this moment..
