Customer Reviews

It is alright

I used this book in studying for the Integration Netware and NT test and it did the job for me. I covers most of the stuff for the test and is very helpful with using the NDS for NT product. Seeing how Novell has the last NT 4 exam is quite ironic but this book is very good for helping you pass and in real life situations.

Good info from the Novell side - a little dated

The first part of the book is review of how NT and Novell work, pretty basic stuff. Chapter 4 is the best part of the book - it lays out what your options really are (or were 2 years ago). The rest of the book goes into detail on each of the options outlined in chapter 4, then throws in some extra stuff on ZEN and scripting. Overall it was very helpful, but unfortunately dated. There have been many significant developments in this area since this book was written that, of course, aren't in the book (ie Win2K, eDirectory, single sign-on, etc.) Its also definitely slanted towards the Novell way to approach this issue with the MS options mostly omitted or only briefly mentioned. A good place to start if you're coming from the Novell side, but you'll need more than this get the whole picture.

a complete solution for Novell and NT integration!

Of all the books on computers, networking, technology, and testing that I have ordered and read, this book is the most easily understood and complete instruction yet. 7 Years of networking has taken me through many books to learn the craft and I always find myself searchng for more resources. The book "Novell 5 and NT" will get you 99% there and give you sources for the things it doesn't. This book is a high-paying career all by itself. Learn Novell and NT integration and you will be highly sought after. How do I know? It's my job! How did I learn? This book!
