Summary: Unleash the power of NT Server 4.0
Comment: This Windows NT Server 4.0 Administrators Pocket Consultant has been a constant companion and has never let me down. For beginners and intermediate LAN Administrators, this book covers 4 main areas: LAN Administration Fundamentals, User Administration, Data Administration and Network Administration. In the era of Windows 2000 Server and XP, this book seems a little anachronistic, outdated and obsolete – its not.
With the wide user base of both Windows NT 4.0 Server and Workstation, it is a most valuable resource. Aimed at high-level users, this book will not be your guide to Kernel and file level troubleshooting – it is not an MCSE reviewer. It will give you a broad overview of networking and will deal extensively with users and resources. I give it five stars for its logical progression. After dealing with why you even need a network, the Pocket Consultant focuses on User Administration and the relation to the Data/Resources. NT is robust not because it crashes less but “sharing” is a really easy method to get users to what they need and fast.
Depending on the configuration of you shop – if you have a high turnover, the printing and network optimization comes in handy. If you have a fairly static staff, the user administration is helpful for user management – as individuals and as ‘groups’. I found the information on Chapter 10 – sharing files, directories and drives – helpful to understand the key differences between the two. Moreover, there was a few key things that I felt this book missed – the power of the Administrator to manage user machines as the Administrator of the Workstation. Within this framework lies the power of the NT network – a much missed topic in this book. Notwithstanding, I still give handbook a true five stars.

Summary: Wouldn't buy it . . .
Comment: I read the wonderful reviews this book got and ran to the store to buy it. I run a small school district network and had several real world issue's I was looking for resolution to before purchasing it . . . this book did not help with one.
This might be an OK book to learn the basics (thus the 2 stars), but it has no troubleshooting tips or advanced network issues that gave me any real world help.
Several hours, 3 NT4 books and 2 cell phone calls from my wife asking where I was later, I left with the Windows NT4 Administrators Survival Guide.
These other reviews must have been written by the authors relatives!

Summary: Good little book.
Comment: This is a good little book that has helped me out most of the time. It doesn't have every answer that one would think (or expect), but for a book that small, it's great that it covers the basics.
