The first edition of this book is the go to book for every ITer I've ever worked with. When the second edition came out, I didn't hesitate to buy it and I wasn't disappointed.
I normally don't read technical books cover to cover, but I read this cover to cover ...

William R. Stanek
Microsoft Press, 2008
Truly Fantastic!
Stanek's Windows Server 2008 Inside Out is the definitive resource for network administrators who are deploying and using Windows Server 2008. I've never found a single server book that tells you everything you will ever need to know about any edition of Windows Server, but this one comes close and it digs in much deeper into the most relevant topics than any other Windows Server 2008 book I've ...

Microsoft SQL Server(TM) 2005 Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Pro-Administrator's Pocket Consultant)19 reviews
William R. Stanek
Microsoft Press, 2005
EXCELLENT BOOK FOR ADMINISTRATORS AND DEVELOPERS
Sometimes when I read reviews people have written I wonder if they've actually read the book or simply thumbed through it in a bookstore or did a search of the pages. This is an excellent book and I've found it to be extremely helpful in setting up and configuring SQL Server 2005. This book isn't meant to be an allinone monster book, its a concise, focused book covering the core of SQL Server ...

Not just for administrators
Out of 5 Windows XP Prof. books this is the one I use the most. This book is packed with useful information, well written, excellent details. By the way, contrary to many other publications that claim to be up-to-date with the latest software version, this book was REALLY written about Windows XP Service Pack 2.

THE BEST ONE STOP RESOURCE
I needed a comprehensive book on Windows Server 2003 and this is the one I picked after reading through all the others at the bookstore. Stanek has the most comprehensive coverage I've ever seen in a single book on security, filesystems/availability, Active Directory, and most anything else you'd want to know about Windows Server. I've been an admin for 12 years and there's things I learned that ...

THE BEST SQL ADMIN RESOURCE. PERIOD.
Stanek knows more about Windows technologies than anyone else on the planet. His pocket consultant guide series is incredible. If he's written a book on a subject it is where I always start my studies. He's never let me down. His books are packed with information, clear, and concise.
I bought this book the day it came out, and I have been using it almost daily ever since. I read it cover to ...

I've had IIS 7 Administrator's Pocket Consultant for several months now. I've read it cover to cover and refer to it all the time. I'm always amazed at how much information William can pack into his pocket consultants and especially with this one.
William starts out by telling you IIS 7 is completely different from its predecessors and then showing what you need to know right away to be ...

Introducing Microsoft Windows Vista 10 reviews
William R. Stanek
Microsoft Press, 2006
An "introduction" and a good one but past its prime
Introducing Windows Vista was written as an early primer for the new operating system from Microsoft. It did a good job AND a much better one than the other primers -- and that's why I chose it over the other primer books. Trust me, it was 1000% better than the Mcfredies and Rathbone primers AND all of them were written using the beta. The gold star you can't read in the little image says "Based ...

Superb, a tremendous help!
This 560-page book doesn't quite fit in your pocket, but it is packed with useful information. Includes both GUI and command-line, and I've had no problems with the code samples. Clear and concise, this book has been a tremendous help.

Excellent beginner to mid-level book
This is an easy to read book with the detail you would expect from a pocket consultant. The author doesn't waste time with the basic chit-chat and does a good job of laying out the useful material.
Content includes initial setup, backup, performance monitoring/tuning and more advanced features such as registry and metabase settings. Advanced readers will eventually want to search for further ...

EVERYTHING you'd ever want to know about group policy
I got this because it was recommended to me. Plus I couldn't live without Stanek's Windows Server 2003 Inside Out and he's a coauthor of this so I was fairly certain it would be worthwhile. Initially, I spent most of my time in the first few chapters as will most admins. The first chapter covers how group policy works with solid depiction of default policy and what it should/shouldn't be used ...

Five Stars
Very sharp focus, how to do everything in frank and complete style, nice little book. It does "how to" but not "why to", that is it does not usually tell you whether option is better than another. I also bought "SQL Server 2005 Programming" by Robert Vieira, have not had enough time to review that one, but I found it did offer the kind of information on options that I was seeking, passed it ...

Concise but thorough pocket reference
I knew a little about XML before reading this book, but nothing in-depth. I've been a software developer for years however, so I didn't want a basics book, but something that covered the subject quickly and in depth. After reading the other reviews I bought this book and was not disappointed. I was particularly interested in XML Schema and XSLT, and this book does an excellent job with both. I'm ...

A lot of SQL Server books give you the same information included already in Books Online. SQL Server 2000 Administrator's Pocket Consultant is an excellent complement for Books Online, TechNet and MSDN. It covers similar topics, but it digs in where necessary, provides best practices, tips to the internal operations, explaining how SQL Server actually works, with unique information only available ...
