Through concise, on-the-job solutions to common problems, Windows Server Cookbook for Windows Server 2003 & Windows 2000 is certain to save you hours of time searching for answers.
Now, instead of dredging reams of Microsoft documentation or browsing its unstructured knowledge base to figure out a particular issue--such as how to compare registry values between two hosts--you can simply reference the index of Windows Server Cookbook for Windows Server 2003 & Windows 2000. From there, you'll be directed to the exact trouble-shooting recipe they need.
As the newest title in O'Reilly's popular Cookbook series, this book covers a wide range of issues that you are likely to face in your daily management of the Windows Server operating system. This includes how to deal with: - files
- event logs
- DNS
- DHCP
- security
- the registry
- backup/restore
One of the book's key benefits is the presentation of solutions in three different recipe formats. Depending on preference, you can solve most problems with the graphical user interface, the command line, or by using scripts. Where appropriate, all three solutions are presented for each recipe in this book. Each recipe also includes a detailed discussion that explains how and why it works. Windows Server Cookbook for Windows Server 2003 & Windows 2000 is written for all levels of system administrators on Windows servers. If you're a relatively new user with only a rudimentary understanding of the job, the book can open your eyes to the many possibilities that await. And if you're an advanced user, it can serve as a useful reference and memory-jogger. Download the code examples from this book.

Excellent Scripting ResourceAug 16, 2005
By G. Kneale
"Consultant"
This book is a must for any Windows systems administrator. True to the O'Reilly standards, the Windows Server Cookbook is easy to follow and packs a wealth of knowledge. For the novice admin, the short how-tos quickly get your task on target. For the more advanced admin, the script recipies are great for use in Group Policies or home brew management utils.
For larger IT shops, I also recommend Robbie Allen's "Active Directory Cookbook" in conjunction with this title.

 Start here, it is all here!Mar 03, 2006
By A. KHAIR
"aminomer"
This book has a sound foundation for managing a windows 2003 server. The chapters are logically organized. I used some of the examples in the book to migrate some file shares in my network from unix to windows, the book was there for the rescue (the fact that the author has a solid windows/unix experience makes this book even more attractive). The solutions in this book include windows scripting, an area that is seldom talked about in windows literature. If you are serious about managing a windows 2003 server competently then you want to have this book in your arsenal.

Do you want the foundation to maintain Windows Networks/Systems?Oct 13, 2005
By Bryan M. Flynn
"me"
Most of us manage heterogeneous networks and need good references when swithcing between Windows and Unix platforms. This book not only provides an excellent compilation of scripts, but also points out many useful tools found in resource kits and support tool packages. The introduction to each chapter outlining the GUI tools, command-line tools, and scripting specifics that are covered in the chapter make the book easy to follow. You might have written or gathered some of these scripts throughout the years, but it is nice to see a good compilation gathered in one place. Very helpful!

"goldmine" for server administratorsAug 16, 2005
By Cyril Weber
The "Windows Server Cookbook" is very useful for new and experienced server administrators. The book shows how to solve administrative tasks in more than just one way. Every task is cut into a problem description, three solutions (GUI, command line and script) and a short discussion (additional information).
Personally for me the book is a great reference in how to automate administrative tasks on multiple systems and therefore solves my time! All examples are good explained and understandable not only for experienced scripters.

Real SysAdmins...May 05, 2005
By alerter
This book can make better SysAdmins out of those of us who are serious their work, whether newbies or seasoned veterans...
In the *nix and SQL worlds, it's long been the case that Real SysAdmins have at their disposal a toolkit chock-full-o'-scripts that are designed to get work done, from mundane one-off chores, to repetetive bulk operations, to specialized heavy lifting duties that are best left to well-debugged scripts.
In the old days, these scripts were personally hand-rolled into closely kept personal script libraries, accumulated over the course of years of duty out on the front lines. In O'Reilly times, serious-minded newcomers to System Administration have been able to quickly and usefully equip themselves with a wide range of tried and tested admin (and utility-gadget) scripts from celebrated titles like _UNIX_PowerTools_, etc.
Over the course of win32/win64 evolution, MS eventually gave SysAdmins a real command-line interface, an assortment of command-line admin tools and the ever whiz-bangy WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) interface. Very, very recently, MS has even begun to pull together the many pieceparts of MS-authored admin (and utility) scripts into downloadable Scripting Guides and the MS Script Center Repository. While these last efforts are all well and good, (no matter how late they are being brought to the table,) there are still too many things, scripted, that are missing in action in MS-land.
In this powerful, yet underserved, context, Robbie Allen's _Windows_Server_Cookbook_for_Windows_Server_2003_and_Windows_2000 (along with his equally impressive earlier effort, _ActiveDirectory_Cookbook_) is a very happy development. In _Windows_Server_Cookbook_, not only does Allen arm Windows SysAdmins with more than 500 genuinely useful, pre-rolled scripts, he *also* goes over the equivalent tools/steps in the Windows Graphical User Interface *and* even provides references to many powerful, specialized and (mostly) free tools that are to be had from the very good folks at SysInternals/WinInternals.
(Now, if only O'Reilly can find some equally good folks to kick out a _MS_SQL_Cookbook_...)
