How Mark Minasi's Book Helped Me Get My First SA Job
I wish there were a place where you could rate the "Author" and not just the book. I own many of Mr. Minasi's books and he never fails to meet my expectations of just how much information he can successfully impart to the reader. I stress the words "successfully impart" because this author's style is so clear and his analogies are so "on point" that he is able to make you understand concepts that other books fail to properly convey. Oh and as an extra: he throws in his quirky sense of humor, thus bringing some welcomed comic relief to those of us who read dull tech stuff all day long. This book is the first "Mark Minasi" book I ever owned and I haven't stopped buying books authored by him since.
At the time I purchased this book, I already owned two other books which endeavored to teach NT 4.0 Server.
Plain and simple: after reading this book from cover to cover I was able to obtain my first job as a junior system administrator. I failed to meet that goal with the other books.
I am currently enrolled in a course to prepare for the Windows 2000 MCSE. Of interest to all those pursuing this same path I say this: While studying for the W2K tests I referred constantly to this book in order to put into perspective the changes in Windows 2K relative to Windows NT 4.0.
One last note: The TCP/IP section in this book is incredibly well written. Mr. Minasi takes a very esoteric topic and lays down a brilliant foundation for the beginner.
More than saying I would recommend this book, I say... I would recommend this Author!!!

Excellent Always a pleasure to read.
Mark always writes in such a way that he make the driest of subject interesting to read. Yes sometimes there is some stuff in each chapter. A sidetrack or extra information that's not necessary. However that is what makes him so easy to read. I often find myself reading long after the time I allotted myself to. One topic always leads my interest to another. This ease of reading greatly helped me obtain my MCSE, with earlier versions. I bought this update to NT 4.0, as it's being phased out, to get the latest and greatest for SP6. I purchase and have read threw months ago, sorry it has taken me so long to write the review. As with all of Marks books, when there is a revision (which SP6 created the need for), it's worth getting. I will be able to better support my Windows NT 4.0 servers until they're in there grave. I also recommend his Windows 2000 books, which I own a few of. The only thing I miss about Marks writing is his PC Upgrading & Maintenance book. The best thing about this author is he writes like he talks and talks like he writes. If you get the chance to hear him speak, you'll buy all of his books on topics you need. I came to this conclusion when I attended a tech. conference, Chicago in April of 2000. Thanks, Mark
