1.0 out of 5 stars Manage Without It, January 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Novell's ManageWise Administrator's Handbook (Paperback)

Save yourself some time and money by NOT purchasing this book. While some of the info is interesting and very well written, this treatment lacks the depth of field to live up to the title of an Administrator's Handbook. It's more suited for use in getting your CFO to seriously consider purchasing the product. It's lack of detail and overview presentation style is just the thing for preparing those executive budget request for new technology.

You're much better off getting the ManageWise Doc off the ManageWise CD, but be prepared - it's in PDF format.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money., December 28, 1999

This review is from: Novell's ManageWise Administrator's Handbook (Paperback)

If you are looking for a useful book with detailed information, don't buy this one. The material in this book is even more sparce than the on-line documentation from Novell's website. We're still looking for a good "non-Novell written" book on installing and administering Managewise. Definately save your money and look elsewhere!

This book is very well written and aimed at the novice user, it does however lack depth and there is much more technical detail that it could have covered. JAllen. Master CNE.
