For basic administration of a small network, this book brings together the
normal operations you need.  The organization is good, and it's a lot faster
than rifling through multiple volumes of NetWare documentation to find a dimly
remembered command or a function which "must be there".
 
However, once you go beyond the basics, you will want something else.  The
section on login scripts does not warn you of some of the common vagaries, the
chapter on security lists rights but not combinations, and the troubleshooting
of printer problems seems to assume that you haven't plugged it in.
 
For the part time manager of a school or small business LAN this will likely be
*the* reference.  Those with more responsibility will likely use it as a first
stop before going on to the full documentation.
