The Barnes & Noble Review
Imagine a gigantic book packed with
expert Windows Server 2003 help
for experienced professionals,
written by one of the world’s
most respected Windows authors,
with the benefit of insider
access to Microsoft’s own
development teams. You’ve just
imagined Microsoft Windows Server
2003 Inside Out.
William R. Stanek covers every
nook and cranny, from remote
installation to disaster recovery.
Along the way, you’ll find lengthy
chapters on topics some Windows
Server 2003 books barely touch upon
-- for instance, optimizing
performance and managing the
Registry. Active Directory planning,
setup, and migration are covered in
depth. So is practically everything
you can do with AD once it’s running
-- from prestaging clients to
publishing shares to authorizing
DHCP servers.

The Barnes & Noble Review
If you were to distill Windows Server 2003 into 500
pages of specific, trustworthy, fast-access answers for
system administrators, you’d wind up with something like
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Administrator’s Pocket
Consultant.
William Stanek begins with a high-level look at
Microsoft’s tools for managing Windows Server 2003 plus
detailed coverage of monitoring processes, services, and
events and a full chapter on support techniques --
including Remote Desktop. He also presents a solid
overview of the many ways in which you can automate
Windows Server administration, including group policies,
scripting, security templates, and the Scheduled Task
Wizard.
Next, he tackles Active Directory administration,
focusing on the tasks you’re most likely to be involved
with: creating, managing, and resetting accounts;
managing organizational units; setting privileges and
logon rights; working with groups; managing user
profiles; and more.
There’s a full section on administering data:
managing hard drives, working with basic and dynamic
disks, administering volume sets and RAID arrays,
controlling shares and permissions, auditing, quotas,
and more. Stanek covers backup/recovery in detail -- for
example, showing you how to avoid the pitfalls
associated with recovering encrypted data. The book’s
final section demystifies networking: not only TCP/IP,
DHCP, DNS, and WINS but printer troubleshooting, remote
access security, and other essential topics.
Unless you're a kangaroo, this book won’t quite
fit in your pocket. But it is small enough to
take anywhere you’re working. And it’s useful enough
that you'll want to.

The Amazon.com Review
Ounce for ounce and dollar for dollar, the Pocket
Consultant series from Microsoft Press is one of the
best values around. The editors do a good job of
recruiting competent authors and having them comply with
well-thought-out style and formatting rules. Microsoft
Windows XP Professional Administrator's Pocket
Consultant is one of the gems of the series. Author
William Stanek has spent time working with his
subject--this book wasn't rushed to market to match the
Windows XP release date--and he's good at revealing its
administrative procedures clearly and concisely. The
book is nicely indexed, so locating the section you need
takes very little effort. This book--slightly larger
than a paperback novel--is ideal for a harried
administrator responsible for many different software
products, as well as for consultants who need to learn
how to use Windows XP Professional in a hurry. A
particularly nice characteristic of Stanek's style: His
skill at combining straight procedures ("Just follow
these steps and it'll work") with supplementary
information about options ("On the other hand, if you're
doing something unusual, you might need to modify the
standard procedure a bit"). As no real-life installation
of Windows XP ever seems to match authors' ideas of
normalcy, the supplementary information is critical.
Screen shots are nicely handled as well. Their presence
helps clarify what the text means, but they're not so
large as to waste space.
The Barnes & Noble Review
Whether you're upgrading your entire enterprise or
simply buying new PCs on an ad hoc basis, Windows XP
Professional is coming into your enterprise. If you're
responsible for supporting or administering it, this
handy pocket guide offers you more useful answers per
ounce than any other book we've seen. It's especially
strong on XP's new administrative features, and those
really important tasks (like setting up desktop VPN
connections) that you won't do often enough to memorize
on your own.
The book's organized into four sections: essentials,
core administration, networking, and
optimization/recovery. In 350 pages, it manages to be
remarkably complete. Want to use Windows XP's new Remote
Assistance feature to resolve users' problems without
leaving your computer? Prohibit users from setting up
Internet Connection Sharing on your DNS domain? Set a
new home page for all your users at once? Place custom
content on each user's desktop? Use System Restore
across a network? Lock the taskbar, so it can't be moved
or lost? William B. Stanek walks you through all these
tasks, and more.
We could go on. Setting disk quotas. Managing
security zones. Using notebook power schemes. Rolling
back troublesome driver versions. Checking the status of
a LAN connection. Configuring the synchronization of
offline files. If you need to do it as a manager or
support professional, there's no faster way to find out
how.

The Amazon.com Review
One of the best Windows 2000 references yet
published, Microsoft Windows 2000 Administrator's
Pocket Consultant is a professional-level how-to
guide for all versions of Windows 2000. Designed
with the mobile expert in mind, the cover of the
book has a tough, plastic-coated surface (like that
of a playing card) and rounded corners (though it
won't quite lie flat without weights). Its contents
are similarly hard-boiled. Concepts are explained in
expertly written and carefully organized prose,
while succinct procedures tell you how to meet
requirements and numerous tables list options and
their effects. There aren't many screen shots, but
that's okay because this is a reference for people
who don't need them. Coverage is wide-ranging and
includes everything a power user or system
administrator would want to know about the
configuration, expansion, and efficient
administration of Windows 2000 systems and networks.
If you're not sure how to best go about an
incremental backup or the installation of a Domain
Name Service (DNS) server under Windows 2000, you'll
find what you need here. If you know a bit about
Windows NT (or even Unix) in a networking context,
you can extract all you need to know about Windows
2000's unique operational features. Similarly--even
though it wasn't designed for the purpose--this book
makes a great study aid for the Microsoft Certified
Professional (MCP) tests on Windows 2000.

The Amazon.com Review
The Pocket Consultant series has begun to earn a
good name for itself, as an increasing number of system
administrators discover that the books are generally of
top quality and consistently long on detail. Microsoft
Exchange Server 2003 Administrator's Pocket Consultant
fits in with its mates, providing concise but complete
coverage of Microsoft's latest back-end product for
workplace collaboration. The goal isn't to teach about
Exchange Server 2003 or explain how it fits into an
organization's computing infrastructure--instead, the
goal is to document the entire server package concisely,
enough to jog the memory of an administrator who needs
to perform some task or be reminded of how a feature
works.
In a typical section, the book takes on the intricacies
of the Exchange Server 2003 data stores. After a speedy
but accurate introduction to what each store is for and
how it works, the book outlines recommendations
(several, actually, each suited for an organization of a
particular size and with specific performance
requirements) for fitting databases onto disks and
protecting those disks with RAID schemes. Coverage of
the Exchange Server 2003 database infrastructure is
detailed similarly: there's background information, for
example, about the performance advantages of zeroing out
deleted database pages, and steps to follow for
scheduling indexing jobs.l
Topics covered:
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, from the
administrator's perspective
The relationship between Exchange Server 2003 and Active
Directory
Management of users and groups
Management of online and offline address lists
Database design and upkeep
Server optimization
Message routing FROM THE PUBLISHER
Here’s the utterly practical, pocket-sized reference for
IT professionals who support Microsoft Exchange Server
2003. This unique guide provides essential details for

platform to deliver better performance,
interoperability, and end-user experience. Written by an
award-winning author of more than two dozen computer
books, this Pocket Consultant puts expert installation,
migration, administration, and troubleshooting advice
right at your fingertips. Featuring quick-reference
tables, concise lists, and step-by-step instructions,
this handy, one-stop guide provides fast, accurate
answers on the spot--whether you're at your desk or in
the field!
SYNOPSIS
This "pocket" (5.5x8") guide provides step-by-step
instructions for managing desktop, mobile, and remote
messaging with Exchange Server 2003. The guide focuses
on daily administration procedures, frequently used
tasks, documented examples, and options that are
representative, with sections on administration
fundamentals, active directory services, data store
administration, and group administration. The book is
designed for current Exchange Server 2003 administrators
and Windows administrators familiar with Windows Server
2003. Stanek has written previous books on computing.

The Amazon.com ReviewIf specialization is for
insects, those of us who have only two legs are bound to
need reminders when we sit down to perform a specialized
task. For those times in which the specialized task at
hand involves the latest version of Microsoft's high-end
database management system (DBMS), Microsoft SQL Server
2000 Administrator's Pocket Consultant will provide
how-to answers on the double-quick. This small,
inch-thick volume fits nicely into a briefcase, and
opens flat for easy reference. It makes little attempt
to explain how SQL Server works, assuming instead that
the reader knows what he or she needs. For example, a
quick scan of the index for "Logins, Assigning Roles for
Multiple" yields a reference to a page that explains
exactly what to do, step by step.
Procedures are a large part of the appeal of this
book; value tables and Transact-SQL syntax documentation
contribute the rest. A typical value table lists all
standard database roles, along with commentary on what
sort of user is appropriate for each role. Transact-SQL
documentation includes generic "all available options"
statements of syntax, followed by usage examples. Deeper
explanations of what each option does would make the
syntax documentation stronger, but what's here is
certainly enough to jog readers' memories and point them
to heavier reference material, if they need it. Keep
this book handy if your job requires you to hop from
DBMS to DBMS.
