Editorial Review:This is an essential book for Microsoft programming houses but because ADSI is Microsoft specific (being based on COM) it isn't particularly relevant to anyone else. In fact, to read this book you really need to know a lot about VBSCript, ASP, Exchange Server 5.5 and IIS 4. If you know these you'll know NT 4 which you also need. The book majors on demonstrating how to provide messaging, calendering and scheduling functions via Web page interfaces, which puts it firmly in the corporate developer arena. The early part of the book uses straightforward projects to show how the various technologies are linked to create network applications. After this it moves heavily into ways to implement security and authenticate users of these applications--an area in which NT struggles somewhat. There's a passing nod at LDAP, but the authors are hamstrung by the fact that NT 5/Windows 2000 is yet to be unleashed. No doubt there will be an updated version when it ships. Overall, this is a complex and detailed book covering Microsoft's increasingly complex network enabled software technologies. It's hard work, but ultimately very rewarding. Reader Reviews:A great reference book for any network administrator! (0/0 people found this helpful)Even though this book is written for advanced users, I found it would be useful tool and easy enough to follow for any LAN/WAN administrator looking to control their entire network.
