I purchased this book after comparing it to the Novell book. I am glad I bought this book as it is very detailed and informative. There are good examples and illustrations. The authors definitely know what they are talking about!

This book is a must for any administrator that wants to migrate, install and/or maintain their existing GroupWise e-mail system. An understanding of NetWare and NDS is very beneficial. This book has it all.

When installing a GW system in 1998 and linking it to a 100+ domain GW 4x/5x system I found this book to very very usefull. I used the book extensively along with Novell's guides from support.novell.com. This book is well worth the money. On the down side the book could include more about some of the difficulties in GW but you can only get so much in one book. Also Novell probabaly had some say on content.

A very good overall book on GroupWise 5.2. I used it to help setup a GroupWise 5.2 system and found it to be a good reference. I did wish that the book covered more in-depth information about the internet use/strategies of GroupWise. WebPublisher is not mentioned in the book

For starters, when I purchased this book, I was concerned about the publisher. Sybex has not had a good track record with me and their computer books. I'm a CNE, and I'm working on my MCNE. The book is excellent if you are after a good admin guide for GW 5.2 systems. However, I am worried that when I take the GW-Admin exam from Novell that I will not do so well. Time will tell, however I had to buy a different book than Sybex's when I was studying for my CNE...
