"Not optimized for mobile devices" - by chesneyb on 18-MAY-2013
Reviewer Rating:
While this book may be fine if you are sitting at a computer, it is not optimized for mobile devices. Since most of my best reading time is away from a computer, I will get little use out of this book.
I strongly suggest that Safari work with the publisher to get an ereader version of this book that works with mobile devices and allows for proper resizing of text to fit smaller windows.

"Windows Server Admin Essentials" - by rwells on 18-APR-2013
Reviewer Rating:
Solid book covering a good baseline for beggining sys admins. Also solid for expierenced sys admins who want to go back and reinforce the basics. Easy to read as well as plenty of real world scenarios explaining how many topics would apply in your scenario. Picked up book to reinforce before moving onto server 2008 AD and server admin books, again solid for reinforcing topics and creating a good baseline for skills. As an aside many books are either for beginners or expierenced admins not many fill the void if your somewhere in the middle, this is one of the few books i feel is perfect for that. In the end great read.
