I have purchased a couple of these "Pocket Consultant" books from William Stanek. I have been working in IT for almost 20 years but in no way am I a Server guru. Do not get me wrong, I have nothing negative to say about Mr. Stanek's writing ability or his knowledge about all things Microsoft. He is very knowledgeable and very respected. I get that. People love him and his books. I am in the minority though. Not a big fan of these Pocket Consultant books. Here is what is frustrating about them. Maybe I will lose whatever tiny bit of credibility I have here because I am thinking back and at the moment cannot quote very specific examples. Almost every time I have gone to these books for reference, I cannot find what I am looking for or the subject that I am looking for more information on is just not detailed enough to give me the answer I need or I find that some things just don't work like they are explained in the book. I have found more help just using my old friend "Google" than using these books.
I am an IT professional who likes to have a book to read and refer to. In an age of digital copies it is sometimes nice to have a book to highlight and mark pages. This is a good sized book for portability. The topics are covered well and offers step by step instruction as well as detailed descriptions of what you are doing.
A good, general reference. Even the dimensions of the book support its intended purpose (a thumb-through search as opposed to a chapter-by-chapter read). The index is detailed and comprehensive; most terms I look for are there.Note to Data Center folks: Hyper-V is not covered. Nor is NIC teaming or other high-availability features.
Keep this book handy for those Windows Server tasks you don't do often but may need to repeat. Published by Microsoft, the Pocket Consultant is just that, a resource you may consult again and again, and the physical copy of the book can be marked, notated, and kept at hand for reference when working an issue.
This is a good and quick resource guide for Windows Server 2012. I purchased other books as well, but use this one more because of it's size. However, all of these books are highly technical. Unless you're on the level of MS Certs, know this will be a challenge to use.
I've always been a fan of the Pocket Consultant series of books and this one ranks right up there with his best. Superior reference book making it a true must have for every system administrator. Don't let the "pocket" in the tile of the book fool you either. Somehow it seems like there's much more in it than the 700 pages. It is an impressive book and for the price, you are not going to find a book with a higher quality of content.
I've been a fan of Stanek's OS pocket consultants for years, and nothing against the author, but who publishes a book without a table of contents? The print book has one, but not the Kindle version? Ridiculous! Absurd. Lame.
This book is a must-have for Server 12 admins. It is loaded with everything you need to install, manage and troubleshoot a WinServer 12 machine. The editorial is well written and easy to understand, and the book is organized, chapter by chapter, in an intuitive manner.
