Reader Reviews
As a CCNA and UNIX/VMS systems manager recently thrown into Windows 2000/NT administration, I really, *really* wanted this book to be good. In some ways, it was decent -- it helped clarified some Active Directory concepts and new Windows 2000 features. What this book did not do is offer me any ground-breaking information on integrating Cisco routers into a Windows NT/2000 environment. The authors do provide some Cisco router configuration information (targetted at beginners and novices). Unfortunately, this information was very light-weight for me. The text often makes the mistake of presuming that the reader has a solid understanding of NT 4.0 domains/administration. Windows 2000 functionality is constantly described with Windows NT 4.0 terminology. Many network engineers do not have experience in NT 4.0 domain management and will find this to be tedious. This book really is a consolidation of what could be two different books: "Introduction to Cisco Routers", and "Windows 2000 Networking Concepts for Windows NT 4.0 Administrators" If you're looking to find any advanced technical tips on how to take advantage of W2K/WNT functionality in Cisco routers, you won't find them in this book. The Cisco stuff is beginner material that every network engineer who works with Cisco routers should know. This book would probably be most appropriate to the NT 4.0 administrator who is looking to sharpen his or her router skills and learn a little bit more about upgrading to Windows 2000.
