Anyone who installs Windows 2000, creates a user, or adds a printer is a 2000
system administrator. This book covers all the important day-to-day administrative
tasks, and the tools for performing each task are included in a handy easy-to-look-up
alphabetical reference. What's the same and what's different between the Windows
2000 and Windows NT platform? Has the GUI or the networking architecture changed,
and if so, how? Windows 2000 Administration in a Nutshell addresses the
problems associated with bridging the gap between the Windows NT and Windows
2000 platforms.
This book covers:
- Commonalities and differences between Windows NT and Windows 2000
- All the administrative tasks, including Installation, Group Policies, Terminal
Services, User Accounts, and Virtual Private Networks
- Microsoft Management Console tool (MMC)
- What's new and significant in the Control Panel utilities
- Command-line Tools, Utilities and Wizards
- TCP/IP networking with Windows 2000
- Windows 2000 Advanced Server and its clustering capability
Whether the concern is new security issues or how Active Directory works,
Windows 2000 Administration in a Nutshell is as useful to the single-system
home user as it is to the administrator of a 1,000-node corporate network.

Awesome task-based reference
If you are familiar with the tasks you want to accomplish, but not quite certain where Microsoft has hidden the tool to do the job, this book is for you. While this book isnt much of a page-turner, every Windows 2000 systems admin should have one of these books on their desk or in their library at the very least. I found clear and accurate answers to several nagging questions between the covers of this book. A real must have!

Waste of money
I found this book to be very poorly organized and uninformative in the subjects I needed to master. Unless you need to be told such things as where to find the Administrative Tools and other nonesense, this book will provide you with little insight or understanding of Windows 2000. In other words, don't buy unless you wear Pampers.

great reference
As usual, O'Reilly does a great job with writing to the point, minimal fluff reference books. After upgrading from NT to 2k I needed something to teach me the differences in this OS but didn't want the superficial low level stuff that so many books are made of. This is a great choice if you already know your way around your computer files but want more details on the new OS.
