The missing manual for administrators

This is one of those books that is so packed with technical details you are not likely to find anywhere else that listing them would turn this review a booklet in itself. I have always liked Novell's Directory and found it the best to work with from its inception to the latest incarnation. That being said there were still a lot of tips in the second and third parts of this book that resolve issues that took a long time for me to resolve on my own. Whether you are installing eDirectory on a Novell system or Linux you will find everything you need to resolve installation issues and keep it in top working order in this book. The author chooses not to repeat the installation and administration information provided in Novell's documentation but instead has produced the best supplemental book available today. If you have an eDirectory issue you will find this is the book you turn to again and again to resolve it. Everyone working with eDirectory should have the eDirectory Field Guide in the server room for quick and easy access.
