Book Reviews of Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Server Essentials (2nd Edition)
Book Review: Mostly harmless
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought a copy of OS X Server to set up a network file system, mail server, and print server. Unfortunately this book has proven completely useless in helping on those tasks. The only purpose of this book is to prepare you to pass an examination certifying that you understand OS X Server administration. Frankly, anyone who only has that certification will not really be prepared for the challenges of system administration.
I was hoping for a volume that would help me to identify the kinds of services that we need to offer in a mixed-client-OS system, something that would help design the network, install and configure the client machines, troubleshoot and debug in case of problems, and so on.
What I got was a book that says: "Insert the DVD in the DVD drive. Reboot the system from the DVD. Enter these values into the first panel that you see...." On and on and on, it's purely a monkey-see, monkey-do approach.
There's only one reason to buy this book: to pass an exam. Otherwise, look at the online guides to server administration that Apple provides on their website. They suffer from many deficiencies, but they are still far superior to this effort.
Summary of Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Server Essentials (2nd Edition)
The only Apple-certified book on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, this comprehensive reference takes support technicians and ardent Mac users deep inside their operating systems, covering everything from networking technologies to system administration, customizing the operating system, command-line programming, and more. Keyed to the learning objectives of the? AppleCertified Technical Coordinator certification exam, the lessons in this self-paced volume serve as a perfect supplement to Apple's own training class and a first-rate primer for computer support personnel who need to troubleshoot and optimize Mac OS X as part of their jobs. Self-quizzes and chapter tests reinforce the knowledge gained along the way.Apple Books
