 Surprising
This was a "why not?" read.
br /
br /I was surprised to find it a decent introduction to Active Directory. It mainly deals with the background information as it attempts to explain what is Active Directory.
br /
br /This is not really an AD management book. If you are looking for a "How to" book, this book will not serve your needs. The information is rather basic at best.
br /
br /There is discussion about the AD schema which might bore a few people but it is useful if you want to get a feel for the guts of AD. I might add; I really haven't had much of a need to dive into the schema as of yet. Had one instance of extending the schema but that was about it.
br /
br /One thing that is lightly discussed is AD's use of DNS. Many problems tend to be DNS related and it's not discussed much.
br /
br /There are dated chapters such as upgrading from NT 3.5 or 4.0 and it talks about why you should use AD. These can be skipped.
br /
br /The chapter on troubleshooting is pretty basic and not really of much use.
br /
br /The chapter containing links is old. Some no longer work and some have changed due to company renames, etc.
br /
br /Overall, it's not a book to get a feel for AD. It is becoming dated especially with 2008 being out. But as a cheap introduction it's pretty good.
 Review of AD for dummies
So far the book is right on and helpful as far as giving the back gorund of the AD system.
br / Book showed up ontime and was good price.
Help for a geek taking certs!!!
For those that need such an aid, a dummy helper, quick book, etc in such a subject as this, it is irreplacable.
Simple explanation
You have no need to worry all the unknown terms, alien language, confusing words that you might have found in the other books. Here, you will get simple explanations about every term used around Active Directory. It's a good one.. I like it =)
A great little book
One of my students told me about this book and brought it to class. I hadn't expected so much technical content from a Dummies book. This little book really should be the starting point for anyone interested in Active Directory.
