Review:
Books that explain the workings of functionally similar command-line operating systems, such as Unix, are essentially big lists of text commands. But documenting Windows NT presents a challenge. Since Windows NT has a largely graphical interface, how does an author create a handy guide to all of its interface elements? In Windows NT in a Nutshell, Eric Pearce seems to have solved the problem. He surveys the entire environment, one piece at a time, and depicts dialog boxes and their contents in a graphical tree format. With this style, he makes it fairly clear as to what you need to click in order to bring up the interface element you want. This book covers Windows NT Server 4.0 and Windows NT Workstation 4.0, though there's no mention of th... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
For programmers, Chen and Berry have created an excellent introduction to the Windows NT 4.0 Registry in Windows NT Registry Guide. Lacking a complete catalog of keys, this book's value lies instead in its exhaustive documentation of the Registry API and its examples--included on a companion disk--of accessing and modifying Registry information in Visual Basic and C++ programs, including ActiveX controls. The authors begin with the obligatory explanation of the Registry's functions and documentation of Registry Editor. They quickly move on to provide a full documentation of the Registry API, a helpful tool unfortunately marred by unclear organization. Still, this book partially redeems itself with its discussions of Registry- accessing prog... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
If you're a "just the facts, ma'am" kind of person, Windows NT Registry will call to you like the siren on the rocks. Yet another in the New Riders networking series, this book delivers the goods on fine-tuning your network operations via the Windows NT Registry, considered the nerve center of the operating system. Author Sandra Osborne, longtime programmer and Windows expert, presents the material in a straightforward, tough-to-argue-with style that's geared exclusively to the networking professional. Divided into three sections, Windows NT Registry tackles hardware issues, workstation components, and network client issues.

Review:
There is a lot of material to cover when dealing with network server administration. This guide gives a brief overview to pretty much everything, but concentrates on security and Internet/TCP/IP topics. An introduction looks at network operating systems, and the concepts of the Windows NT Server architecture. Two chapters go quickly through basic and advanced WinNT Server installation. Chapter five gives a better than average explanation of the domain based security model, and how it differs from the simple workgroup setup that many small systems use, and follows up with server domain implementation and managing of domain accounts. Two fairly standard chapters cover user accounts, profiles, and file security systems. The piece on the... Rest of this review on the detail page
