Product Review
Getting diverse systems to work productively together is a big part of any system administrator's job. Windows 2000 & Unix Integration Guide conveys some information about how to get Microsoft's latest network operating environment to coexist happily with Unix. The book approaches the integration challenge as a series of individual interfaces, each of which can be dealt with more effectively on its own. More specifically, it explains a number of services--file systems, e-mail, printing, and so on--and shows how to make clients of each kind talk to servers of the other kind, and vice versa.

A large part of this book has to do with explaining each environment to those who have experience with the other--Windows in Unix terms and Unix in Windows terms. That's helpful when Unix people need to work with Windows NT people and get their systems to interoperate. As part of that coverage, instructions that are specific to each of the operating systems describe such processes as setting up a Web server and configuring the distribution of e-mail. Sometimes, the discussion seems a bit scattershot (everything from scripting with Perl to the basic Windows 2000 console commands is addressed), but the approach is generally sound. --David Wall

Topics covered: Accessing Windows NT and Windows 2000 resources and services from within Unix, and accessing Unix resources from within Windows NT and Windows 2000. File services, print services, e-mail distribution, and Internet servers all get their due, as do such cross-platform administration operations as file backups and scripting. Unix variants BSD and Linux are discussed in depth. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Windows 2000 & UNIX Integration Guide (Book/CD-ROM package) (Paperback) I work in company with network combined of Win NT/2000, MacIntosh and Unix/Linux computers. This book helped in many ways in integrating Win and Unix platforms. Not only it helped in enabling Apache to handle ASP using Pearl modules and running Pearl on Windows (Python and Tcl/Tk are also covered) but it also helped in every day job (administration, backup, etc.). In many things book starts from the beginning and guide the reader to the end. Most important, book gives solutions to the real life problems. If you are beginner examples can be little confusing. Overall good book, recomendable to everyone working in mixed enviroment.
