Windows NT in a Nutshell
Anyone who installs Windows NT, creates a user, or adds a printer is an NT system administrator (whether they realize it or not). This book organizes NT's complex GUI interface, dialog boxes, and multitude of DOS-shell commands into an easy-to-use quick reference for anyone who uses or manages an NT system. It features a new tagged callout approach to documenting the GUI as well as real-life examples of command usage and strategies for problem solving, with an emphasis on networking. Windows NT in a Nutshell will be as useful to the single-system home user as it will be to the administrator of a 1,000-node corporate network. Covers both Workstation and Server versions of NT Written primarily for NT 4.0, but still useful for 3.51 Presents the GUI hierarchy with callouts to provide easy-to-locate documentation of options, buttons, and dialogs Covers the DOS-shell commands in great detail, as these come into increasing use by the experienced NT user when managing large and complex installations Includes an extensive index that quickly directs you to both GUI and DOS-shell methods of accomplishing a task, without requiring you to wade through unrelated material Examples demonstrate NT interoperating with UNIX, Novell Netware, and Apple Macintosh systems

Best NT reference book printed!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I've chewed through mounds of NT books, including MCSE ones, and nearly all of them are merely cursory depth books. Very little reference to them at all.This book is awesome, it has one place for you to look up different aspects of NT and find out what and how...this book has no equal for strict reference material on NT. Another Great one O'Reilly!!!
A Wonderful Windows NT Quick Reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book carries on the tradition, I have NEVER been disappointed by a book from O'Reilly. This book is a great "one-stop" reference for tasks concerning Windows NT. My favorite part is Chapter 7 "Uncommon Sense." It is full of helpful NT tips and tricks. This will stay on my desk as long as we are running Windows NT.
NT book that won't sit on the shelf
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
There are some books that sit on the book shelf and others that become dog-earred through usage -- my book is pretty worn with usage.I found the section on NT command line reference to be the most useful. The command line can be more convenient an doesn't rely on the GUI NT overhead and can be utilized in batch scripts.I didn't utilize the GUI navigation charts very much, since I tend to learn navigation through pratice and hopefully relevant navigation labels.The author doesn't show any bias toward Microsoft and speaks in plain language. This is a pleasant contrast to many of the technical authors that seem to deliberately confuse the new user to make an impression that they are a master of the subject.
The most valuable NT resource you can have.

Eric Pearce has done in one book what others have failed to do in hundreds. All the information you need to effectively use Workstation or Server is at your fingertips for less than $20. Being a person who has to support NT on a daily basis, this is the only reference that never leaves my side.
Outstanding NT reference book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
I am a MCP soon to be a MCSE. Thus, I have seen many books written on Windows NT. In terms of information, organization, correctedness, usability, and value, this title definitely ranks among one of the best, if not the best. The diagrams and concise explanations given to every feature are magnificently documented.
