Windows 2000 Commands Pocket Reference

Book Overview
Windows administrators can accomplish many of their routine tasks much more quickly by using the command line (similar to the command line of DOS or Unix-based systems) than by going through the graphical user interface that most users associate with Windows. Windows 20000 Commands Pocket Reference documents the Windows command mode. It's designed for system administrators, but will also be valuable to many users. It includes most available Windows 2000 commands, as well as the most useful system administration command-line utilities from the Resource Kit. Weeded out of this book are Windows commands and command options that are obscure, obsolete, broken, unacceptably insecure, or frankly inadvisable, as well a few special-purpose classes of commands. Whenever several utilities perform essentially identical tasks, we include only the best of them. Commands are grouped according to their purpose and function; within a group, commands are arranged alphabetically. Options for each command are grouped by function and ordered by importance. The Windows 2000 Commands Pocket Reference complements Windows 2000 Administration in a Nutshell by conveying the kind of no-nonsense, boiled-down information typical of O'Reilly's highly successful companion Pocket Reference series. It's a valuable, concise reference to Windows 2000 commands and command-line utilities.

Got Scripts?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
If you have to do scripts for development or testing then you will want this book. Excellent little book that you can easily carry with you when you go to the lab or anywhere. Easy to use with sections according to command functions.Well worth the price. It is packed with useful commands and options. As in all other O'Reilly books I have bought it gets used regularly by my friends at work as well. Clear and concise explanation of the command functions.
For what this is...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
it is a very useful book, particularly for admins that have only used command line for DOS utilities. For those folks that don't have resource kit that isn't the author's concern, get after your employer to get it for you. The resource kit commands are well represented and marked, and the resource kit tools can be downloaded for free...The book is well organized and has good supplemental information. And it fits in my back pocket.
Good things come in small packages - great reference!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Like they say - good things come in small packages. This one is something I carry in my laptop bag all the time. It's very handy, covers a lot of ResKit tools, and if you don't belong to the "point-and-click" school of Windows administration, this is a must-have.What this book is: a handy pocket reference to a lot of commands that a lot of sysadmins are unaware of. What it's not: a complete reference to Windows 2000 commands and scripting.You have to understand the author's limitations. For a very thorough or detailed overview, I'd probably look up the web/TechNet or other resources if I need.For this size of a book, I think Frisch did a great job. It's a pretty good investment that can get you very quick RoI if you are in the scripting mode.Bharat SunejaMCT
Handy book to have if you enjoy working at the command-line
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book has a lot of great information on tools that you can use when working from the command line in Windows. Many of the commands mentioned are actually tools from the Resource Kit, rather than native to Windows 2000, so that was kind of discouraging. On the whole, the book is useful to have, but it would have been nice to have more detail on some of the NET commands and using them in scripts.
Reference For scripts and commands

This is a very nice and handy book containing all the commands needed to write script. It is a good and easy reference book.
