Anyone who installs Windows NT, creates a user, or adds a printer is an  NT system administrator (whether they realize it or not).  This book organizes  NT's complex GUI interface, dialog boxes, and multitude of DOS-shell commands  into an easy-to-use quick reference for anyone who uses or manages an NT  system.  It features a new tagged callout approach to documenting the GUI as  well as real-life examples of command usage and strategies for problem solving,  with an emphasis on networking.  Windows NT in a Nutshell will be as useful  to the single-system home user as it will be to the administrator of a  1,000-node corporate network.
- Covers both Workstation and Server versions of NT
- Written primarily for NT 4.0, but still useful for 3.51
- Presents the GUI hierarchy with callouts to provide easy-to-locate  documentation of options, buttons, and dialogs
- Covers the DOS-shell commands in great detail, as these come into increasing use by the experienced NT user when managing large and  complex installations
- Includes an extensive index that quickly directs you to both GUI and  DOS-shell methods of accomplishing a task, without requiring you to wade  through unrelated material
- Examples demonstrate NT interoperating with UNIX, Novell Netware, and Apple Macintosh systems
