About The Author
William R. Stanek has written more than two dozen computer books including the
Microsoft WINDOWS SERVER 2003 ADMINISTRATOR'S POCKET CONSULTANT,
Microsoft IIS 6.0 ADMINISTRATOR'S POCKET CONSULTANT, and the WINDOWS XP COMMANDS ESSENTIAL REFERENCE. Mr. Stanek has an M.S. in information systems and a B.S. in computer science (magna cum laude), and he has twenty years of hands-on experience with system administration, programming, and scripting.
Reader ReviewsLike most of Stanek's books, this volume is concise, practical, and emminently useful. There have been several "command line" books published previously, but this book is by far the best. The book contains a quick course in writing .bat files for those not already "in the know." I liked this section for both beginners and old-hands who need to occasionally need to create quick command files and do not need the functionality of a full scripting language. The various commands are covered in sufficient detail. The command include the basics plus AD commands and commands from MS's website and resource kits. Highly recommended.
