Product Description
Renowned NetWare consultants Jeffrey Hughes and Blair Thomas have compiled the master NetWare 5 reference -- Novell's Guide to NetWare 5 Networks. With more than 1,500 pages of NetWare 5 coverage, Novell's Guide to NetWare 5 Networks touches all the bases including Pure IP, Novell Directory Services , Novell Distributed Print Services™, NetWare 4.11 migration, Z.E.N.works™, and Netscape FastTrack Server for NetWare. Hughes and Thomas, both of whom are master CNEs and Senior Consultants for Novell Consulting Services, also explain how to implement a security infrastructure using NICI, configure your NetWare clients, tune the NetWare 5 operating system, design an effective NDS™ tree, and troubleshoot partition operations. Three CD-ROMs accompany Novell's Guide to NetWare 5 Networks with complete NetWare 5 online documentation, a Visio Solution Pack for NDS, and a three-user version of NetWare 5.

 Good book for CNE's July 31, 1999

Hughes and Thomas basically accomplish their stated goal "...you will learn basic to complex concepts and rules on the aspects of NetWare 5"(p.xii). As expected from these authors, there's a heavy emphasis on NDS design and implementation. I wanted more comprehensive coverage of Z.E.N., FastTrack web server, and setting up NDPS. This is not an administrator's handbook, nor a test-prep. But if you're a CNA/CNE looking for a reliable, comprehensive overview of NetWare 5, this is it.
Reads like a sales brochure. April 16, 1999

The book seems directed at those considering an installation or upgrade. It lacks detailed information on any of the services that come in the box. It is not the detailed CNE's desktop reference that I was looking for. The book give little more information than the online documentation CD from Novell.

Probably not edited by anyone speaking English (at least, nobody that knows ANYTHING about networks). Extremely wordy, repetitive, regularly travels half-way around the world to get across the street. Exhaustive in its treatment of trivial details (like how to expand an NDS container) while lightly skipping over complex subject matter (like partitioning). The only good thing I could say about this book is the design and outline of its contents and the effort exerted in filling in the details seem to be well matched, both of them quite low. Would not recommend this book for anyone unless they are an incurable insomniac -- this is the cure. I wrote to IDG to express my dissatisfaction with this book and my disappointment with them for pandering it to the public.
Excellent Book August 14, 1999

I had the chance to meet the authors at Brainshare 99, they were kind enough to autograph the book. In various installations this book has helped alot!! Especially with the new backup system Novell has implemented with Netware 5. Easy reading, not overly technical..

I was looking for a complete guide to NetWare 5 for a new network operating system user. This is not it. The was written by experts for experts.
