I am fairly new to ADSI programming (but not ASP) and have initially found this an excellent general guide to developing web administration asp pages for NT.
It serves as an good introduction to areas such as user management, domain management, printing and file services and LDAP/Exchange. My main reason for buying it, was for programming IIS and there are two chapters devoted to this (and the book is titled as a reference book). However, I found some advanced features (such as editing properties for individual files) to be devoid of examples, and I was unable to get this feature working. Further examples on programming ADSI for IIS would have been very useful.
All in all, an excellent book with a lot of examples, but as it says on the front, a Reference/Introduction book rather than an Programming guide. I think I'll still be looking for an ADSI for IIS programmers guide.
