Windows NT Server 4.0 for NetWare Administrators Review, July 27 1998
Submitted by Walter Kiernan [Respond | View]
I just would like to tell you that I really like your book. Very few books give a high level and high density of information while being very fluently readable. It is a pleasure to read "NT Server for Netware Admins".

<HR> November 22, 1997 This is a great book. As a Netware administrator with no NT experience, I was looking for one book that would help me learn NT quickly. This book does that. It tells me exactly what I need to know about NT, and it puts that information in context with what I already know about Netware. I'm puzzled by Mr. Kiernan's criticisms of it. As he says, the book is informative and well-written. The first part of the book covers NT specifics, and the last part deals exhaustively with integrating Netware and NT. I thought the author was even handed. He appears to like NT, but frequently pointed out problems with it and even things that Netware does better. I went back to the bookstore and bought another copy for one of my friends. I'd recommend this book without reservations to anyone who knows Netware and wants to learn about NT.

<HR> November 21, 1997 I was very disappointed with the book, and returned my copy. I expected a book that would explain Microsoft networking and NT server in terms that a NetWare administrator could follow: this book doesn't deliver. The author spends considerable time telling us how NT is "better" than NetWare 3. Why? If you want an up-to-date NOS, you will upgrade to IntranetWare, NT or UNIX. Comparing NT to NetWare 3 is pointless. This book should have been titled "How to replace your NetWare 3 network with NT 4.0" It spends too much time telling us how lousy NetWare is, and why we should get rid of it. Much of the book comes off as Microsoft cheerleading. As an NT reference, this book is informative and well-written. But if does little to help NetWare administrators work with NT, or to integrate NT into a NetWare network.
Media reviews
"If you're currently a CNE and you need to get on the fast track to NT certification, then this book will take you there. Although this book is not an official study guide, we suggest you go out and get it if you're a CNE seeking MS certification. Although our contributor has not finished going through this book entirely, he has told us that this book has been instrumental in helping him understand the differences between NetWare and NT without starting from scratch. 'Two thumbs way up!' he told us."
Hardcore Rating = 9.5. UPDATE: THIS BOOK IS NOW OFFICIALLY HARDCORE'S ULTIMATE PICK FOR CNE'S WANTING TO BE MCSE'S.

"A comparison and contrast between NetWare and NT concepts and features, Windows NT Server 4.0 for NetWare Administrators, teaches experienced NetWare administrators how to master the fundamentals of using Microsoft Windows NT Server. The book answers questions concerning how to do something with NT that you did with NetWare before. Although the main focus of the book is on the coexistence of Windows NT and NetWare, it includes a thorough coverage of migration and strategic issues as well. Thompson begins with a quick overview of the similarities and differences between NT Server and the NetWare 3.1x. He then eases you into Microsoft networking, discussing the basic concepts and how they compare with similar concepts in NetWare. The book covers Windows NT network configuration, disk configuration and administration, user management and control, and more. You will learn about DHCP, WINS, DNS, and RAS, print services, backing up and restoring NT Server, the NT registry, NetWare integration tools, TCP/IP networking, GSNW and FPNW. There is also coverage on Norton Utilites for Windows NT, and how to manage servers in a mixed NetWare and Windows NT Server environments. So if you are thinking about making a switch from NetWare to NT, there is no better guide than this technical tutorial and reference."

"Worried that Windows NT is making all your years of NetWare training obsolete? Need to make the NT move from NetWare? This book is exactly what you're looking for! It gives a detailed and very comprehensive view of Windows NT Server from a NetWare administrators point of view."
