 Passed Apple Certification exam with this book February 21, 2007
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
While I have quite a bit of experience with Mac OS X Server 10.4, I still read this book cover-to-cover. It's a great read and you'll always find something you don't know. By reading this, I was easily able to pass Apple's ACTC Certification exam. Save yourself a lot of money and start with this book instead of the formal classes...then if you need more, try the Apple Training classes.
It is what it says it is August 25, 2006

This book is not perfect, but the harshly negative reviews it's gotten so far are pretty much baseless. This is a book about Mac OS X Server. It is not a book about BIND or Apache or VPNs or any of the countless other services it is possible to run *on* Mac OS X Server. If you want to learn about the specifics of Apple's management utilities or are preparing for the Apple Technical Coordinator certification exams, then this is a fine book. If you know absolutely nothing about networking or server administration and want a book that's going to turn you into a sysadmin overnight, then you should definitely look elsewhere.

I read quickly to analize the level.I will use deeply next month. it seems nice, well documented and using plain english.
It analizes intermediate to complex situations.
Useful.

I wanted more topics in the appendix. This would have made it more of a reference for me. Still a very good book. The server subject is deep and vast so I am pleased overall.
 Excellent book for getting your ACTC March 5, 2006

This is a great book for teaching those interested in getting their ACTC (Apple Certified Technical Coordinator) certification. It is not an exhaustive reference for Mac OS X Server (like Bartosh's Essential Mac OS X Panther System Administration). It's not meant to be. But if someone is wanting to get their ACTC, this book, along with the Support Essentials book (and a bit of experience with OS X and OS X Server), you've got it. I applaud Apple and Peachpit for releasing well-written books that are a cost-effective means to get OS X certifications.
