4.0 out of 5 stars CNA Study Guide, October 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Novell's CNA Study Guide for NetWare 5.1 (Hardcover)

The study guide is enough to pass the test. It contains all the material on the exam that you will need. I strongly recommend using the two CD's to implement a study network and doing the labs. I also read the book, cover-to-cover, twice.. then went back and re-read security and zenworks. The day before the test I used Exam Cram online resources to review. I have no prior Novell experience and was only A+ certified prior to this exam. The study took me one month at about 4 to 5 hours a day. The book DOES contain editorial errors, such as referring to incorrect Figures or tables and a few incorrect statements. Read carefully or you will not pick up on it when it happens.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but not for a beginner, August 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Novell's CNA Study Guide for NetWare 5.1 (Hardcover)

This is a good book but certainly not if you are a beginner. This is not a criticism of the book. I don't beleive he had the beginner in mind when he wrote the book. It is just a warning to anyone who is totally new to Netware.

The book contains some errors. For example, you cannot assign the "create" right to a server object. The book makes this clear in one section yet 20 pages later leads you to believe you can. Also, in NDS security, you cannot filter the "Inhertiable" right. It's not necessary. The book appears to be wrong on this. You have to be on your toes to catch these inconsistencies otherwise it can be confusing.

The book is very weak on ZENworks and should take a more basic approach to this topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars enough to pass, anyway, June 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Novell's CNA Study Guide for NetWare 5.1 (Hardcover)

In my opinion, this book itself is enough to pass the exam. I am not kidding, I passed it by 70 points more than the water level. I did NOT go to training class, NOT buy any testing software, NOT even have 2 computers to connect! Actually I never installed the two CDs shipped with this book.

So my suggestion is: Read every page and understand it (or at least trying to). Every thing he wrote is to the point, although not comprehensive( like Zenworks and NDPS is too little)

But if you goal is passing it instead of making 800 score, this book is enough.

Another book by synbex is also helpful for practice, although that one is not as good as this one. This book lacks questions to practice, this is the most regretful drawback.
