Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Why would Amazon even have such an outdated edition? Why would Dummies NOT have updated this? And in no place does Amazon bring the outdatedness to your attention. Yeah in the really small print but when I’m looking for a book like this I don’t have the time to read every single word of everything.And, of course, you can’t return a Kindle book. You’re just stuck with wasted money.

⭐Doing Active Directory right was important to my small technology company, so I bought more than ten books on Active Directory, Windows 2000 Server, and DNS. This Dummies book I took home and planned to skim through it first, thinking it would be a nice quick introduction.The book got mislaid, and I did not pick it up again until I was nicely up to speed with Active Directory and had done several installations. I read it anyway on a Saturday night as a quick review and was surprised at the clear style, nice organization, and adequacy of its coverage of the subject matter.If you have just a day or two to get up to speed with this important new Microsoft technology, this book will certainly do. System administrators and architects will want a more technical treatment.

⭐Dummies books are always well written and easy to understand.

⭐Good quick primer

⭐A+++ sale

⭐Easy to read and easy to follow. If you are like me and don’t know the first thing about Active Directory I recommend this book.

⭐Great book for refreshing AD

⭐It’s more about project management than Active Directory. I will wade through it to get to the parts I need. Not quite what I had in mind.

⭐Needed for work. Very clear instructions and plenty of examples

⭐It’s fine, other than probably being a little overdue for update, especially to clarify how AD is (or is not) affected by Cloud services such as Azure.

⭐Very useful

⭐God book for beginners

⭐Sysadmins need this book
