I own the previous editions of this book as well as the more comprehensive Hughes/Thomas NetWare books and could not wait to get my hands on both for NetWare 6. It's a must have for our shop - easier to get through than the online help files and also provides the tips and tricks the online docs do not. The newest edition of the Admin Handbook is useful for both the beginner and more advanced Admin. It's easy to find eveyday information fast. Excellent tool to check the syntax of commands you use infrequently. Coverage is just right, not too much to wade through for every day administration but adequately covers the ins and outs. Also addresses new features of NetWare 6 succintly. Well done again authors - thank you!

I've read parts of this book like a novel, and used other parts like a reference. The book works either way. Not written for the newbie, it is great for someone with some Novell experience, it is not super-geeky either -- just right.

Depth is there when needed, enough screen-shots, drawings, and diagrams as needed for clear conveyance of the information.

I did not detect any errors, and found it to be quite accurate regarding things I already knew.

The physical size is handy too.

This one will stay nearby -- I like it, and recomend it.

Excellent little book. Lots of good info packed into a conveniently sized and proportioned book. Not for newbies.

This book is packed with the neccessary knowledge you need to manage, set-up, and administer your Novell Netware 6 network. With extensive coverage on areas including iPrint, iFolder, eDirectory, NetStorage, Enterprise Web-Server, this book is for beginners and experts alike.

I was a novice, never used Netware before, but now I manage a network with 4 servers and over 500 computers, and use this book daily for a reference to comply with Novell's recommendations. You can't go wrong with this book! By far the best out there!

Thanks Novell!

This book can be used as a resource for the CNA 677 exam too. However don't make it your only one resource...

When using the book to set up a new NetWare6 server what the book said to do is the same as what is on the screen. this was my first time setting up a server and to have Zero back ground in netware the book was hard to use.
