I found this book to be quite good for a Windows system admin for their first few servers, and it also seems to be a good reference for those of us who have built a few already. The chapter and examples of writing scripts are quite good as well.
Each chapter has detailed examples of how to setup server programs such as postfix, although I found the section on setting up a FTP server to be severely lacking. The book also does not include setting up SpamAssassin or Amavisd for the postfix server it shows how to set up.
Overall I think that a new system admin should use this book, along with system admins who need a simple reference for the basics.
