Excellent beginner to mid-level book
The author doesn't waste time with the basic chit-chat and does a good job of laying out the useful material. This is an easy to read book with the detail you would expect from a pocket consultant.
Content includes initial setup, backup, performance monitoring/tuning and more advanced features such as registry and metabase settings. Advanced readers will eventually want to search for further information on some of these topics (scripting for example), but this is to be expected. The books leaves you feeling comfortable with what you've learned and with a good feel for where you might want to expand your learning in the future.
Most of my computer books end up getting re-sold or trashed, but I'll be keeping this one on the shelf for myself and others to use in the future.
Stanek bats a thousand again!
It is packed with useful information, well written, intelligent, and enjoyable to read. This book is really worth every penny it costs. Just the chapters on IIS applications, side by side . NET configurations, and pooling are worth the whole book: it goes through every detail.
The in-depth coverage of every other subject is as accurate as it gets. I particularly appreciated the chapter about customization. But the book goes as far as covering in perfectly understandable terms the metabase, and more. Not to mention the incredibly accurate chapter about optimization. .
A Good One

One of the good books in the market about IIS 6.
People who are interested MUST have a look at
