Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon

Microsoft BackOffice 4.5 Resource Kit, to the hardcore BackOffice administrator, is a CD-ROM in a really heavy box. (Yes, this kit ships with two CD-ROMs, but one of them is just the 120-day evaluation version of Microsoft SQL Server 7.) The one key CD-ROM contains utilities for Exchange Server 5.5, SNA Server 4, Systems Management Server 2, and SQL Server 7. Some examples include a better Mailbox Cleanup Agent for Exchange and an inventory synchronizer for SMS.

The utilities CD-ROM comes boxed with four books, each documenting a particular BackOffice suite member rather comprehensively. (You'll find these books about as good as most other publishers' comprehensive offerings on the programs.) The books provide lots of reference material, including full documentation of command-line interfaces and error codes. There also are some tuning and troubleshooting hints, while the SQL book includes a lot of information on migrating legacy databases to Microsoft's product.

Is this Resource Kit worth the money? If you need the software, absolutely, though Microsoft really ought to sell à la carte Resource Kits for each of the four BackOffice elements in addition to this suite pack. The BackOffice programs are usually so critical to the enterprises that use them that an administrator wouldn't want to risk lacking a key utility during a crisis. --David Wall

Book Description

A must-have for the IT professional charged with planning, installing, and optimizing the latest versions of Microsoft Systems Management Server, SQL Server, and SNA Server, this comprehensive kit details every critical aspect of the deployment cycle. The CD-ROM features software tools and utilities.

This review is from: Microsoft BackOffice 4.5 Resource Kit (Paperback)
This kit is a bit expensive considering that most of the content is available online. But if your time is valuable or you like to have printed copy to look at it's worth it. What I found most helpful is the examples and information that comes on the CD.

1.0 out of 5 stars No point in buying this, Jun 11 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft BackOffice 4.5 Resource Kit (Paperback)
Thanks to Microsoft Press's bundling of these 4 resource kits together, you may find yourself spending $200 for content you can already get for free. I only wanted the SQL RK, and all of the printed contents are already available as FREE whitepapers from MS web site. The tools are moderately interesting, but not, in my opinion, worth the entire cost.

Those people also interested in Exchange, SMS and SNA Servers might find in convenient to have it all in one place, but not me.

Now to find a way to return this ripoff. I'll certainly never buy another MS Press resource kit.
