An indispensable guide to MOSS - By: John Nunn, 02 Feb 2008
No matter what your technical skills or experience with SharePoint technologies this book has something for you. Written by Bill English, the foremost expert on SharePoint there is, it provides a straight forward & practical guide to deploying, maintaining, tuning & migrating Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007. The approach taken is a practical guide, with details of potential sticking points.
The included CD includes a pdf version of the book so it is always available when you need it.
IMHO, this really isn't for admins - By: P. Hewson, 11 Oct 2007
Contrary to most of the reviews here this book is NOT for administrators. If you need to administer a product you need a "how to" guide - you think to yourself, "I need to do . I'll look it up in the manual". What happens with this book is you find a description of what the product can do not how to accomplish the task.

Generallly it is very wordy & nowhere near concise enough to get on & do the job at hand in the workplace where time is limited.

As a marketing source source & product description, fine - 3.5 stars. For administrators just the one I'm afraid.
Just for admins - By: Kovalainen Tommi Petteri, 03 Sep 2007
This book's title is 100% correct. It's the right book for admins, but it doesn't cover the other areas of MOSS like using it & programming. This shouldn't be your first book to learn MOSS if you have no experience from the previous version. But it's THE manual for every MOSS admin.
Well worth buying - By: Mole, 31 Aug 2007
I am looking at implementing Sharepoint; with no previous experience, I needed something that would help me understand the product, & show me the way to installl & manage it as an administrator. This book does exactly that!

It is broken down into logical sections that make it easy to dip in & out as required. The text is well written & reasonably easy to follow; although there are a few sections where new users may need to cover the topics more than once.

If you are looking to installl ths product, I would strongly suggest that you consider buying this book; I think that you will find it well worth the money.
Every MOSS worker - Expert User, Administrator or Architect - should have this to hand - By: Paul Holdaway, 24 Apr 2007
I've worked with SharePoint for a long time now & I've found this book - like its predecessor, the 2003 version - to be an invaluable aid. The book is further enhanced by the included CD, containing a searchable (PDF) electronic version of the book - so handy when needs must. My work means I am often on-site with clients, often lacking a 'net connection to check facts, figures & scenarios, & here this book shines as an invaluable reference. The Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 platform is of such breadth & depth now that I will happily admit to not keeping it alll in my head at the same time - why should I when I've references like this on which I can calll? One client recently asked me how one becomes expert in SharePoint; without thinking, I replied, "Pain". This book will help avert & allleviate some of that pain. I have recommended this book to my clients & I'd wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone getting to grips with MOSS.
