    5.0 out of 5 stars Best book out there for IIS 6
    Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    As an ASP .Net developer, I've had to deploy to IIS too many times to count. Invariably, something goes wrong. This book will make you a master at IIS 6. It goes into very advanced details such as the metabase (which I haven't seen any other book do). It also gives a quick historical lesson on IIS which really helps to place IIS 6 in context and gives insight to why things were done a certain way. The author starts from the foundation and branches out from there. Without a doubt, the best book on IIS 6 available.

    This is one of the best admin books I have read. It is written well and is easy to understand. It is a good idea to have IIS installed on a computer so the reader can work through the examples.

    5.0 out of 5 stars IIS6 - Will this book help you?
    Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2003
    I have enjoyed Mitch's writing style since I found his Administering IIS 4 book here on Amazon.com. He writes in such a way that technical books are very easy to comprehend and everything flows with the right amount of screen snaps.
    He has covered a lot in this book which includes a very detailed section on how to install both Windows 2003 and IIS using a lot of different methods which works well if you have one server to a farm of 100's of servers.
    The standard things you would expect from an IIS book are here, creating sites and virtual directories and these are explained clearly and concisely. A chapter is included on securing IIS which covers NTFS file and directory permissions and how these integrate with the IIS permissions. He also explains the different IIS authentication methods and application pool identities, and SSL.
    There is some very good information Performance tuning and monitoring and a good section on the IIS Metabase (IIS configuration now in XML) and how to interface with it from the command line using ADSI and WMI Scripts.
    Overall I think that this book would help anyone who has to work on an IIS server and even if you have administered IIS before you will get value from it. I would rate it 4.5 stars but since I can not I will give it 5 stars. Level Basic to Intermediate

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book
    Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2008
    This book is very well written. And the way it is laid out the subject of each chapter stays right on topic, it is very easy to follow. I got a lot out of this book, and I have been working with IIS since NT4. Even if you had little or no experience with IIS, the way the author walks you through the install wizards a beginner could get IIS up and running, yet there is plenty of advanced information that an experienced user can get a lot out of this book.

    2.0 out of 5 stars If you write software, not for you
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2007
    It's hard to complain about Mr. Tulloch's book, although that is what I will do, because it is really the only book on the topic. IIS 6.0 is a production tool, a 300-ton press as compared to a tack hammer. I suppose we're lucky Mr. Tulloch was inspired to write about it. We don't get many books about 300-ton presses.

    I am a software application developer who moonlights as a manufacturing engineer, sometimes setting up punch presses. I earn my living by making things work. Mr. Tulloch's book is about how to keep things from working. Although he calls it "security" what he really means is "job security" in the sense that we used to say, "Nobody gets fired for buying from IBM." Only today plenty of people do get fired for doing just that.

    Mr. Tulloch is delighted that IIS is delivered in "lockdown mode" while I am angry. That means people who operate as Mr. Tulloch recommends have little to do. Little can go wrong, because almost nothing can work. People like me have to figure out what is keeping their software from working and wheedle people like Mr. Tulloch to ease up.

    Mr. Tulloch repeatedly says making that software actually work is "beyond the scope" of his book. Mr. Tulloch's approach is driving the United States and other industrial democracies into bankruptcy and making opportunities for people in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe who are still focused on making things work.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mitch Does it again!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2003
    Mitch does it again, every book he puts out just gets better and better and this book has it all! Having worked with IIS for over 4 years I didn't expect to lean much (we all know it all don't we?).... I was wrong! This book has ranges from Screen Cap's and diagrams to a full break down of the metabase, NTFS permissions needed and even the dreaded Front Page extensions. If you are new to IIS or have been around the block, this book is a definite must have for the work bench!

    We bought this book for our Systems Administrator who had limited IIS experience. After a few days he had the website and ftp site humming. Worth a look for the novice through to the expert.
