Nothing Beyond the Surface
Although this title does cover what it promises to cover with daily administration and configuration, the book never presents more information other than what you could have learned from reading the on-line IIS help file that is provided by Microsoft when you install IIS 5.0. It is nice to have the reference in print and it is very comprehensive in that it does cover the aspects of IIS, from configuring each of the major services (WWW, FTP, SMTP and NNTP), to using the Index Service, SSL, ASP (an introduction to the concept) and adjusting performance. But it never goes deeper than explaining each component of the dialog boxes IIS gives you and the general information needed to understand how the section relates to IIS as a whole.If you're looking for a comprehensive introduction into IIS 5, this is a great place to find it. But If already know the basics, and are looking for something that will help you master IIS 5, you should look elsewhere.

Not what I thought
Not very technical. If you're a beginner this book helps get your feet wet. If you any experience with IIS look elsewhere.Byron Giles

There are no good IIS books
You have to buy them all anyway so shut up and just do it. But somebody ought to start using editors (real ones!) and illustrators (lots of them) and present information in more ways than mere regurgitations of the software's HELP section.There has to be something better. Call me when you find it.
