Windows Server® 2008 Resource Kit Reviews
If you're going to plunk down $249 for this 4000-page reskit, you should add Stanek's exceptional $59 1500-page Windows Server 2008 Inside Out. Microsoft PowerShell, VBScript & JScript Bible. If you haven't plunked down the big bucks, a much better set of books for about the same:. In contrast, Stanek's book is extensive, relavent, and useful from start to finish. Windows PowerShell Scripting guide, a basic reference for PowerShell. Windows Server 2008 Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Pro - Administrator's Pocket Consultant). I'm going on faith here for Stanek's PS and AD books, but if it's anything like his others they'll be well worth it.
Active Directory® Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Administrators Pocket Consult). Windows Server 2008 Networking and Network Access Protection (NAP). The reskit is on my bookshelf. If you already plunked down the big bucks for this, you'll likely use it. Windows Server 2008 Inside Out. Networking and Network Access Protocol guide, a solid look at NAP, 802.11, VPN, not so good look at everything else. Windows Administration Resource kit, a rather weak book for general administrations.
I use the reskit books to lookup things periodically and use Stanek's book frequently even after having read it cover to cover. Windows Server 2008 security resource kit, an okay but rather short reference for security. Stanek's book is on my desk. Windows Active Directory Resource kit, a general Active Directory reference. You also get a CD with scripts and tools and such, but gone are the days when the tools were as valuable as the books.
Internet Information services 7 resource kit, a reference resource for IIS. Frequently, there are whole chapters, appendixes, and such I never refer to or read. Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 Administrator's Pocket Consultant. The reskit books are meaty but don't always have the most relevant, useful info throughout. In the reskit, you get five books.
These are just extras in this kit as the real tools are now part of Windows and you don't need to buy them anymore. Add Windows Server 2008 Inside Out to get a more complete library.
It's a great kit that helps me to learn the new features of Windows Server 2008. Giuseppe Hi, I bought this kit for my certification plan.
Thanks all. Nicolas I already bought in the past the 2003 resource kit and this one is still as it is/was for 2003: Great.
Keep up the good work. I've received my books on time in perfect condition.
