Server 2003 Resource Kit

I just got the Sever 2003 resource kit at work. Is this a pretty useful
tool in the pursuit of all things MCSE? Just curious if anyone had checked
this out for value and content.

The Security Resource Kit will definitely help on 70-214 and 70-299.

While this may be true - my response was genuine.

I think the only reason they aren't included on the CD/DVD is to keep people
from shooting themselves in the foot. The support tools is include on the
disc, which is dangerous enough in the wrong hands, to include Resource kit
seems like a no brainer. If you do more than just start systems after power
failure and add users to the directory, you need to install AdminPak,
support tools and Resource kit, religiously. Whether or not to install them
doesn't even deserve the hesitation involved in making a decision.

If you are working toward certification, need some low cost alternatives to
third party software or just want to be better at your job, all three are
some of the best free tools you can get. The next thing is to learn and use
some form of scripting; it doesn't much matter which one you use, just so
long as you learn to automate as many tedious, repetious jobs as you
can....besides, the chicks dig guys that can script!

I have just been promoted to network admin and am currently migrating from
Novell to a 2003 native network. I have installed both.

Always a plus.

or just want to be better at your job,
That is definately the goal.

We installed ScriptLogic. It is based on or uses KiXtart. We have a basic
script that assigns printers, drive mappings, and GPO's.
So far I like it pretty well but it is mainly a GUI that builds the
scripting code for you (not really much actual script writing.)

Thanks for the advice. My only problem now is deciding where to start on
the mountain of information I want to learn.

Start with the workstation OS. It all builds from there. Make sure you
have a machine or two to practice on. I also found it helpful to set
deadlines -- brings out the competitive spirit and keeps the process
moving.
