Amazon.com Review
A good administrator has both tactical (immediate problem-solving) and strategic (planning and architecture) skills that can keep a complex installation going while making systemic improvements wherever possible. In Domino System Administration, an experienced Lotus groupware administrator shares both kinds of knowledge. For this reason, this book is the defining work on administering Lotus Notes and Domino R5 systems. If you run such a system, you'll benefit from this book.
Rob Kirkland goes light on straight documentation of features, which is a reasonable thing to do in a book aimed at people who already know their way around the Notes/Domino environment. Instead, he emphasizes how aspects of the systems (such as SMTP mail routing and the Domino Directory) operate before explaining how the administrator should work with them. This approach manifests itself sometimes in some explicitly stated procedures, but more often in prose and tables that take into account the variations among individual instances of Notes and Domino. He is also careful to highlight differences among versions, and is always quick to point out strategies for minimizing time spent on the repetitive aspects of the administrator's job. Kirkland's practical-minded text, loaded with details, will appeal to administrators as they solve problems on the job and study for Lotus certification. --David Wall
Topics covered: Installation and operation of Lotus Notes and Domino 5 systems. Extensive attention is devoted to setting up initial and subsequent servers, upgrading from Release 4.x, user registration, client setup, mail routing, replication, security, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) services, databases, and Web services.

This Book Rocks!,
This review is from: Domino System Administration (Paperback)
This is a fantastic Domino Admin book. Mine weighs in at 858 pages, but there is no fluff here that you will find in other books. Each chapter gets down to business quickly. He deals with everything you'll have to deal with if you have Domino 5; Replication, Mail Routing, Modem Communications, Agents, Setup Profiles, etc. It's all here. I always suggest to people if they are trying to learn all about a specific topic like Domino they should read at least 2 books to cover all the bases. Look no futher, you've found one of them. I also bought Special Edition Using Lotus Notes and Domino 5 but this book was much better (and much cheaper). If you joined a course to teach you all this you'd pay thousands of dollars. Save your money. Build yourself a second computer with the money you save not taking a course, download the server and clients off Notes.net, load NT or Windows 2000 on it and go through each chapter and play with your test server. You'll learn more than you would in most courses, and you'll have a second computer.

Anything I couldn't find in Lotus Yellow Books, I found here,
This review is from: Domino System Administration (Paperback)
After finding things in this book that I couldn't find in the Lotus yellow books or the IBM red books, this book is the first book I look at when trying to fix a problem with Domino Server or Notes client. Of course this is the ONLY 3rd party book dedicated to R5 System Administration, but it fits well into the position

Buy this Book!,
This review is from: Domino System Administration (Paperback)
This book is simply the best book on the market that specializes on Domino Administration for R5. The book is written in a reader-friendly style and covers deeply technical information in an informative, yet approachable style. It gives not only the technical facts, but the pragmatic advice that comes from years of experience. While the Lotus reference materials may give you choices of A, B, or C, this book recommends a specific choice and gives you the advantages and consequences of your choices. This type of advice is invaluable when it comes to making decisions about how to configure your system. I've recommended this book to many of my clients and they are all pleased that they invested in it. Get this book.
