2.0 out of 5 stars This book is not detailed enough., October 8, 1999

By A Customer

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

You will find yourself refering to Novells website to get full explainations and instructions on how to do things refereced in the book. (thats unacceptable to me) I was disappointed with this purchase. Novells online manuals contain far more information and its free.

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

The book was referred to me by another admin, who used it on his large corporate network with ease.

I know the previous review states that it isn't detailed enough, but this book does provide a great starting point, covers many of the details, and can be used just by itself to setup zenworks.

1.0 out of 5 stars ZenWorks Admin Handbook..., October 4, 2000

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

This book would be great for someone who knows nothing about ZenWorks and want to know what it can do... but if you know what it can do ... don't buy this thinking it is an Administrator book. Gave no detail on setup or configuration of any parts of the ZenWorks suite.

I was very... very... disappointed in this book... and I have doubts that I will buy the new one for Zen3 coming out in January....
