What in your opinion is the best desk reference book for Windows Server 2003? Not necessarily exam related but overall reference. There is the Administrators Companion that looks good and also the Windows 2003 Server Bible, "The Best Damn Windows Server 2003 Book Period", Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Inside Out, etc..

I'm just starting on my study, and am using the MS Press book, with the 180 day eval version. That, and this forum so far - I'll probably get Exam Cram and the Sybex too.
edit: oh, you said reference. Good question!

Yeah I meant non-certification books - desktop reference sort of thing. "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Ben Franklin

For a desk reference I would go with either the Administrator's Companion (2nd Edition, updated for SP1 and R2) or the book by Mark Minasi.All things are possible, only believe. -

They are both large -- but worth the shelf space
