4.0 out of 5 stars Well written and useful, October 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: NetWare 5 CNA(SM)/CNE: Administration and Design Study Guide (Hardcover)

I passed all three of these CNE exams after studying this book. (I have experience with NetWare 3 & 4 but not NetWare 5.) I agree with other reviewers that this book is not for novices; novices should take a live class or CBT not just read a book. The book is well organized and well written -- much better than the companion volume "Integrating Windows NT" by Scott Reeves. With a few small exceptions, it covers what you need to know to pass the exams. I have some problems with the relevance of Novell's test objectives to real-world networks: there is over-emphasis on ZEN-Works, too little about login scripts, a glib and unrealistic dismissal of Microsoft clients for NetWare, and excessive discussion about an imaginary Project Team lead by an "NDS Expert". But this is Novell's fault, not the book's. The major fault of the book is that the practice questions are much easier than those of the real exam, and are almost all multiple-choice even though the real exam is not.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Supplemental Source, August 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: NetWare 5 CNA(SM)/CNE: Administration and Design Study Guide (Hardcover)

If you are using this book to pass the three tests it claims tocover good luck, especially if you don't have either hands onexperience or a secondary training source. This book does manage to cover most of the material on the tests, but the practice questions are a joke. Also, the book spends lots of time on sections that have few related questions to the actual test, while skimming some sections that will be tested extensively.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fair, May 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: NetWare 5 CNA(SM)/CNE: Administration and Design Study Guide (Hardcover)

I bought this book for CNA examination. However the practice of the book is not explained in details. So if you are a novice, study more materials before examination.
