Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Administrators Pocket Consultant,
Second Edition (Pro-Administrators
Pocket Consultant) by William R.
Stanek
The Best
Ounce for ounce and dollar for dollar, the Pocket Consultant series from
Microsoft Press is one of the best values around. The editors do a good
job of recruiting competent authors and having them comply with well-
thought-out style and formatting rules. Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Administrators Pocket Consultant is one of the gems of the series. Author
William Stanek has spent time working with his subject--this book wasnt
rushed to market to match the Windows XP release date--and hes good at
revealing its administrative procedures clearly and concisely. The book is
nicely indexed, so locating the section you need takes very little effort. This

book--slightly larger than a paperback novel--is ideal for a harried
administrator responsible for many different software products, as well as
for consultants who need to learn how to use Windows XP Professional in
a hurry. A particularly nice characteristic of Staneks style: His skill at
combining straight procedures (Just follow these steps and itll work) with
supplementary information about options (On the other hand, if youre
doing something unusual, you might need to modify the standard
procedure a bit). As no real-life installation of Windows XP ever seems to
match authors ideas of normalcy, the supplementary information is critical.
Screen shots are nicely handled as well. Their presence helps clarify what
the text means, but theyre not so large as to waste space. --David Wall
Topics covered: Microsoft Windows XP Professional, as system
administrators need to understand it. The author explains hardware
installation, permissions setting, network security zones, and several kinds
of network connectivity. Coverage of the specific requirements of mobile
users--including virtual private networks (VPNs) and dial-up--is particularly
welcome.
Personal Review: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Administrators Pocket Consultant, Second Edition (Pro-
Administrators Pocket Consultant) by William R. Stanek
This book has allowed me to correct several start up issues and to fine
tune our home computer. It now runs faster and smoother with little if any
lag time. Web searches are even faster.
Great for an amateur like me or even a professional (who suggested it to
me).
Enjoy!
