 Superbly organized and presented instructional guideMar 05, 2005
By Midwest Book Review
Susan Snedaker's superbly organized and presented instructional guide, How To Cheat At Managing Windows Small Business Server 2003, is a recommended pick for any Microsoft system engineer managing a Windows Server 2003 environment: it tells how to overcome common problems and time drains that Exchange Server creates, such as handling user permissions and security settings, and it also covers group policy, installing printers, managing client computers, and more. The disaster planning portion is particularly well detailed.

A front end to the official documentationNov 12, 2004
By W Boudville
Snedaker takes a pragmatic approach to the sysadmin tasks described in her book. She does not attempt to give a comprehensive discussion of all that is in Small Business Server 2003. For that, you can turn to Microsoft's official documentation. But a problem with the latter is that it is voluminous. Snedaker aims this book at someone who may not have the time or inclination to go through the latter.
So she describes what to her are the key issues you are likely to face. For these, she speaks as plainly as possible about how to solve them. You get enough information to (hopefully) perform your tasks. There is no elegant description of the structure of SBS. But do you really care?
The book can function as a good front end to the Microsoft documentation. You can try using it first. Then, for more detail, refer to those.

Excellent book, good examples, good step-by-step instructions. Covers remote access, adding users, computers, etc.m messaging, outlook web access. I can;t tell you how many times I've leafed through it in the last few days to find a piece of info. Good info on troubleshooting, errors, all the stupid stuff I do when I'm rushing.

Very useful book!Jan 25, 2005
By G. Gutsche
I recently installed Windows Small Business Server 2003 and used this book as my guide. The book's clear, direct approach to each of the planning and installation tasks helped me get through the installation without a hitch. Although I'm familiar with many aspects of the Windows Server environment (I had been running Windows 2000 Server before), the SBS software contains features new to me. Snedaker's concise treatment of the new features and how to best work with them saved me time and effort. Although the book doesn't contain every single detail related to SBS 2003, it contains enough of what you really need to know and helps point you in the right direction if you run into problems. The straightforward language of the book is definitely refreshing, and the approach is excellent. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone installing or maintaining a Windows Small Business Server 2003 system. Excellent from cover to cover.
