Worst narration ever

This is undoubtedly the worst narration I've ever heard. Ron Knowles sounds like Microsoft Sam, or some version of that robotic, droning voice. Horrible. Don't believe me? Then buy it. You WILL be kicking yourself.

Technical books like this deserve to be read by someone with an understanding and passion for the subject matter. The Knowles treatment is sorely lacking. The book sounds as though it were read by a person with little understanding of this subject matter. Be warned.

Excellent

This is an excellent listen for anyone wanting a better understanding of user, group and computer management in Active Directory. I have found things that have helped me answer many questions and gained a better understanding of how things work.

It's written like all Stanek's others to deliver what I needed and focus on the core. It's very clearly written, easy to understand. Like it says at the beginning though, you need to listen several times and practice what you've learned to master the topic. Highly recommend this and all Stanek's others.
