Customer Reviews

Very good, but a few irritations
While Roberta Bragg is undoubtedly very good at her job, this book does leave one or two things to be desired. On the one hand, it is a superb reference for the budding security expert, but on the other hand, it seems to flick between assuming that you know where the most obscure windows server schema settings are,but that you don't know how to perform routine tasks like configuring an active directory user account.
Still, it does say at the beginning that you should be VERY familiar with the windows server 2003 OS.
The only criticism is that the lab exercises and explanations could do with some polish and the missing first few steps of each procedure actually stated, for exmple, change GPO setting x, would be more complete with "in container y of node z".
Otherwise though, generally well worth a look.
