OK overview, but hideously bug ridden
and clearly a cut-and-paste rush conversion job from the NW 5.1 book.There are dangerous omissions and advice here. Do not purchase this book unless you already know NW 6 and just need a quick reminder occasionally (and thus can recognize likely errors)

Horribly innacurate
I am a current Master CNE and have been a CNE for many versions of Netware (also an MCSE, CCNA, CCDA, CCSA). The book is filled with wrong information and problems. I'm not being overly critical, I'm talking basic information that's just plain wrong. It was right for NetWare 5, but not NetWare 6. In fact in several places, the book accidently says NetWare 5 when it means NetWare 6 - I think they were cutting and pasting from the NetWare 5 book. I virtually always buy the Novell Press books and this is the first time I have ever been this disappointed. The information that is correct is frequently woefully light on content. It's amazing how little of value a 1500 page book can actually say.

Expired crippleware CDROM and insufficient depth/details.
I was excited with the 5-user license trial CDROM of Netware 6 that comes with this book, but we soon found out that it actually IS crippleware! It expired last year in 2001, though we tried installing the trial CD only this year Nov2002! So the CD that comes with it is practically useless!. The book itself we found is not detailed enough, lacking in depth of information, as if it was written before Netware 6 was finally released and as if the author was not quite certain of all the details thereby ommitting many of them and leaving the reader in the dark.
But seeing that its been about one year after Netware 6 was released but yet there is still a lack of detailed and user-friendly Novell-authorised Netware 6 books available in the world market right now, this book serves as a can-do, in-the-meantime, reference book we can get. Not the best so far though.
