 Not Actually a Dummies Book July 21, 2008
The worst Dummies book I've ever bought.
That is, I'm sure much of the information is very useful, BUT IT ISN'T _REMOTELY_ A DUMMIES BOOK!!!!
It is clearly aimed, not at "dummies" or rank beginners with Windows Server, but at people upgrading from Windows Server 2000 or even NT Server. That would've been fine, if the title weren't dummies anything but something like "Upgrading to Windows Server 2003", but it isn't.
On the other hand, it wastes time discussing basic networking concepts that any intermediate user already knows, or shouldn't even be thinking of trying to administer a server. Maybe I shouldn't be but, running a small nonprofit without the resources to pay $100/hr. for someone to do it for us, it isn't a matter of choice.
What I needed, and still need, is a book that clearly introduces server concepts to someone who's never used it before, as one might expect a Dummies book should do.

This is my first experience with the "Dummies" series of books and I am quite pleased. It is complete without being too "techie". I am an IT person in a small reegional hospital and we are changing from a NT 4.0 based server to a 2003 based server and I was concerned about easily changing all of our users over to the new system. I am hoping this book will make the transition easier.
This is my second experience with purchasing from Amazon online and they were pleasent experiences.

I guess I am too dumb for this book.
It didn't help me at all with basic information

This book, like so many, is among the annoying books that pretend to offer everything to a "dummy"
The first couple of chapters look innocent and make you think that you are going to get alot of knowledge out of this book, but as you get to the chapters that are most important, the simplicity and clearity of the text is thrown out the window. He starts using terminology without defining it, doesn't break things down, and is just plain confusing.
The approach is this:
A is for apple.
B is for bat.
E = m c Squared.
The customer looks at the first few chapters and buys the book.
