IIS 6 Administration

This book is very well written. And the way it is laid out the subject of each chapter stays right on topic, it is very easy to follow. I got a lot out of this book, and I have been working with IIS since NT4. Even if you had little or no experience with IIS, the way the author walks you through the install wizards a beginner could get IIS up and running, yet there is plenty of advanced information that an experienced user can get a lot out of this book.

As an ASP .Net developer, I've had to deploy to IIS too many times to count. Invariably, something goes wrong. This book will make you a master at IIS 6. It goes into very advanced details such as the metabase (which I haven't seen any other book do). It also gives a quick historical lesson on IIS which really helps to place IIS 6 in context and gives insight to why things were done a certain way. The author starts from the foundation and branches out from there. Without a doubt, the best book on IIS 6 available.

This is one of the best admin books I have read. It is written well and is easy to understand. It is a good idea to have IIS installed on a computer so the reader can work through the examples.

We bought this book for our Systems Administrator who had limited IIS experience. After a few days he had the website and ftp site humming. Worth a look for the novice through to the expert.
