[Steven van Doorn]

I had to read this for a college class.

Pros: Well organized, good material, relevant examples and case studies that helped to understand the material.

Cons: Seemed to be somewhat dated, it was written for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, no mention what-so-ever of Vista or Windows 7, hopefully they come out with a new edition soon.

Great resource - will definitely reference again.
