Summary: An outstanding menu of code snippets to make life easier!
Comment: I am revising this review as I again return to this book. I am constantly surprised just how good this book continues to be. With all of the poorly written and just plain wrong computer books out there, this book continues to be a lifesaver.
When I need to find out how to do something in ADSI, I go to the index, within a couple of minutes I have a prototyped, mostly working application. This book is worth every penny I paid for it and then some.
This book has so many different examples that I went through and wrote a management application just by taking the code snippets from it and combing them to do what my application had to do.
It doesn't explain the differences between NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 implementations. But, it does cover most of the functionality built into ADSI. Also, there are some things that are built into ADSI that are counter-intuitive, but the author goes into a sufficient amout of detail to get you going on your way.
It is the best treatment of ADSI I have come across both from an administrators point of view and a developers.

Summary: Heavy on examples, light on theory
Comment: Basically this book takes the MSDN SDK on ADSI and provides examples of all the methods available for each interface. This provides the reader with many excellent code snippets that can be quickly applied. However it's light on the theory behind the COM calls and how to expand the code for further use. I was able to follow all the code fairly easily because I had already read Simon Robinson's book "Professional ADSI Programming- Active Directory Services Interface". My recommendation for those who really what to get a good understanding of ADSI and Windows 2000 that you read Robinson's book first. While some reviewers criticize Simon's book as being too wordy I found it very helpful. That being said this book will get you going relatively quickly...

Summary: Excellent Source for ADSI Code & Nature of Operation
Comment: This is the best book I have used so far on ADSI. The book presents a huge amount of sample code, objects, properties, and methods which act as a source for developing scripts to manipulate network objects. The data is not only provided in Visual Basic format, but also in VB script format. Many underlying priciples of how the code works and what parameters must be met for successful implementation of ADSI scripting are explained. I highly recommend this book!
