Customer Reviews

An indispensable guide to MOSS
No matter what your technical skills or experience with SharePoint technologies this book has something for you. Written by Bill English, the foremost expert on SharePoint there is, it provides a straight forward and practical guide to deploying, maintaining, tuning and migrating Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007. The approach taken is a practical guide, with details of potential sticking points.
The included CD includes a pdf version of the book so it is always available when you need it.

IMHO, this really isn't for admins
Contrary to most of the reviews here this book is NOT for administrators. If you need to administer a product you need a "how to" guide - you think to yourself, "I need to do . I'll look it up in the manual". What happens with this book is you find a description of what the product can do not how to accomplish the task.

Generally it is very wordy and nowhere near concise enough to get on and do the job at hand in the workplace where time is limited.

As a marketing source source and product description, fine - 3.5 stars. For administrators just the one I'm afraid.

Just for admins
This book's title is 100% correct. It's the right book for admins, but it doesn't cover the other areas of MOSS like using it and programming. This shouldn't be your first book to learn MOSS if you have no experience from the previous version. But it's THE manual for every MOSS admin.
