Who This Book Is for
As I mentioned, tutorials are generally written for beginners, have
lots of screenshots, and are generally quite wordy. This book has
no screenshots (probably a first for a book on a
Windows platform) and is highly condensed, packing tons of
information into each page. So the individuals most likely to benefit
from using this book are intermediate to advanced admins who are
already familiar with either the Windows NT, Windows 2000 platform,
or both. Not that beginners won't find this book
useful as well, but it's definitely not a starting
point for learning WS2003 administrationas I said,
it's a reference not a tutorial. You
don't learn a language by reading the dictionary,
but for enhancing your fluency in a language, a dictionary is
certainly essential. And my hope is that experienced NT/W2K admins
will find this book just as essential.
