 Exam Prep November 22, 2007
Great book for obtaining a foundation of Windows networking.
Make sure you have a real life network to practice on in order to derive the full benefit from the book.

Amazingly lazy effort. Some of the data, like basic security concepts, are universal (the definition of a "threat" is the same, regardless of OS) but after that this book is... well, saying it's a "retread" is being nice.
The screenshots in this book even still refer to Windows 2000. Chapter 3 has a very nice "System Properties" screenshot that says "Windows 2000, Service Pack 3". Going by that, it's not even completely up to date on Windows 2000.
If you're looking for basic security concepts, this book should be alright... but there are better options (like anything Security+ related). Unfortunately, this was my first Sybex book... and will probably be my last.
 Outdated and horribly written August 25, 2006

As mentioned in the previous review, most of the text and diagrams reference Windows 2000, despite the book being titled for Server 2003. After using Sybex books to pass the core requirements for my MCSA cert, I was eager to use this one for my elective requirement. However, the book is written in a very non-technical manner; the text as well as the review questions are vague and even incorrect at times. I have found a few obviously incorrect statements / questions that will be submitted to Sybex as errata. For once I'm glad I purchased the Microsoft Press book on this subject.
Copy/Pasted Server 2000 book (barely for 2003) February 2, 2005

Although the book has a 2004 copyright, much of the info is dated. Tables are referred to as for Server 2003, but the tables were obviously made for Server 2000 and simply copied into this book. Table 3.1 is a perfect example, referenced as the command line switches for the mbsacli.exe command, yet the table is titled HFNetChk Switches (the authors couldn't be bothered to do anything except copy/paste this info in). This is a common thread throughout this book, obviously NOT written for 2003, but a slightly updated (making references to 2003) security book for Server 2000.
