Al,

The Adminpak is a very important utility. I have not read ( er, better
said, remember reading ) anything in any manual from Microsoft about this.
But that is one of the major differences between actually doing something
and learning about something. The way that you do things in school are
usually very structured and cover only the major points ( well, that depends
on the focus of the school and the instructors of said school ). All of the
little extras ( check out the ALTools.exe.....really awesome stuff ) usually
remain unknown until you have a specific need, post a question and someone
with some 'extra' knowledge and/or experience mentions this in his/her
reply.

I was toying with the idea of having a school for non-IT people who are
responsible for the computer networks as well as a school for beginning IT
people. I would focus on the way things are really done...not how some book
tells you to do it. Have not yet done that...but probably will soon. Now,
do not misunderstand me...knowing the book stuff is really important. It
should be the foundation. Without this foundation you are lost. But, with
just the foundation you are a bit limited in what you can do. Experience -
or a really great mentor - helps fill in the blanks!
