 Good "Idiot's Guide", not a complete reference Jun 04, 2008
I wasn't sure about this book, as I bought it used and one of the other reviews said it "fell apart into peices"; he must have gotten defective or really old copy. Mine was a little beat-up, but was no worse wear than other used paperbacks I've brought on Amazon.
I do agree it doesn't go into enough depth on many subjects. However, on the flip side it doesn't assume you have lots of knowledge and is easy to find what you are looking for.
It's a good "Idiot's Guide", but not a complete reference. If you are new to the subject I recommend getting this and one of the thick MS reference guides. You'll end up using this one a lot for several months until you have really familiarized yourself with IIS 6.
 IIS 6.0 May 07, 2007
One of the poorest books of its kind. It told/taught me nothing. Jumps all over the place and there are no in-depth explanations of anything.

Great starter book, lots of info. May 20, 2006
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.

Too basic, and lacking focus Feb 07, 2006
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 book for beginners, but not an idiot's guide. Jan 19, 2006
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
