Windows Server® 2008 Resource Kit

Customer ReviewsWindows Server 2008 ReskitIf you're going to plunk down $249 for this 4000-page reskit, you should add Stanek's exceptional $59 1500-page Windows Server 2008 Inside Out. The reskit books are meaty but don't always have the most relevant, useful info throughout. Frequently, there are whole chapters, appendixes, and such I never refer to or read. In contrast, Stanek's book is extensive, relavent, and useful from start to finish. I use the reskit books to lookup things periodically and use Stanek's book frequently even after having read it cover to cover. Stanek's book is on my desk. The reskit is on my bookshelf. Great Resource Kit In the reskit, you get five books Windows Administration Resource kit, a rather weak book for general administrations Windows PowerShell Scripting guide, a basic reference for PowerShell Windows Active Directory Resource kit, a general Active Directory reference Networking and Network Access Protocol guide, a solid look at NAP, 802.11, VPN, not so good look at everything else Internet Information services 7 resource kit, a reference resource for IIS Windows Server 2008 security resource kit, an okay but rather short reference for security. You also get a CD with scripts and tools and such, but gone are the days when the tools were as valuable as the books. These are just extras in this kit as the real tools are now part of Windows and you don't need to buy them anymore. If you already plunked down the big bucks for this, you'll likely use it. Add Windows Server 2008 Inside Out to get a more complete library. If you haven't plunked down the big bucks, a much better set of books for about the same: Windows Server 2008 Inside Out Windows Server 2008 Networking and Network Access Protection (NAP) Active Directory® Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Administrators Pocket Consult) Windows Server 2008 Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Pro - Administrator's Pocket Consultant) Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 Administrator's Pocket Consultant Microsoft PowerShell, VBScript & JScript Bible I'm going on faith here for Stanek's PS and AD books, but if it's anything like his others they'll be well worth it. Hi, I bought this kit for my certification plan. Win2K8 Server Resource Kit It's a great kit that helps me to learn the new features of Windows Server 2008. Giuseppe I already bought in the past the 2003 resource kit and this one is still as it is/was for 2003: Great! Keep up the good work! Thanks all Nicolas I've received my books on time in perfect condition Keep up the good work! 4 reviews found. Displaying 1-4.
