Review

Windows NT Server 4.0 Secrets is a solid information resource for network administrators that covers just about every aspect of installing, configuring, and running NT Server 4.0. Not surprisingly, much of the discussion focuses on enterprise networking concerns, including management of users and groups, domain administration, network security, the use of NT's Remote Access Server (RAS), and interaction with Novell clients and servers. You'll also find detailed treatment of NT internals, including troubleshooting, registry editing, and network tuning.

Internet-related subjects are given considerable prominence. The author devotes two chapters to TCP/IP with additional chapters on using NT as a host for HTTP, Gopher, WAIS, and POP3/SMTP mail servers. The substantial appendixes that round out the book cover everything from a listing of Performance Monitor Objects to information on service packs.

Given its breadth of coverage, it's remarkable how detailed this book manages to be. Windows NT Server 4.0 Secrets is also impressive for being able to boost your understanding of the big picture while providing how-to guidance. The bundled CD-ROM includes several commercial diagnostic utilities and a freeware Web server.
