 Loaded with great information Mar 19, 2004
While less than 250 pages this book if chalk full of useful information. It provides lots of detail specifically around new capabilities, which is good for anyone experienced with IIS. I found it easy to read and got me up to speed fast. It also has an introductory chapter for fist time IIS users, which seasoned techies can skip.
This book as an easy to read alternative to the Microsoft technical reference on IIS 6.

Great book for beginners, but not an idiot's guide. Jan 19, 2006
By Matt J.
Hey, it's a great book for beginners. I knew a very little about IIS and windows server before I started. Stuff like what a service is, what an HTML file is. You know, point and click, the basics. If you don't know this stuff then get a basic Windows server book before you read this book. However, if you know the basics of how to use a computer, then that's right were this book picks up.
It literally walks you though each tasks, with TONS and TONS of pictures to help you along the way. Honestly, this is the most basic book on IIS I've seen.
Great for beginners, but Newbies may want to take a primmer course first

 Too basic, and lacking focus Feb 07, 2006
By J. Snavely

If you're considering this book as a basic intro to web technologies, then perhaps it's a decent choice. If you're looking for in-depth details on IIS6, then you should choose another book.
The reads an an overview to IIS, SMTP, FTP, etc with no real details on any of them beyond setting up your "first site". Pages that could have been used to provide meaningful detail were spent providing overviews of quasi-related subjects like NLB, clustering and Application Center.
Microsoft IIS 6.0 Administrator's Pocket Consultant is a much better alternative, providing the type of content I was hoping for when I purchased this one.

 Great starter book, lots of info. May 20, 2006
By Surfer Joe
Lots of good info. There are some technical terms that were not well defined, but most of the critical information is there. Book is a great starting point. It gets you familiar with all the important concepts of IIS.

 A waste of time Jan 12, 2006
By A. Buttitta
"database student"
What an awful book! Nothing is explained in any detail. Jargon and terms are thrown about haphazardly. The author assumes you're familiar with IIS already. He's a real cheerleader for Microsoft on top of it all. (It seems there are no faults or shortcomings with IIS 6.) The writing is very sloppy and typos occur often. What more can I say?
