Summary: Not what was promised by the term 'Complete Coverage'
Comment: I originally bought this book in the 'optimistic' hope that this would give complete coverage or at least coverage enough to prepare for my CNE5.

It does feature each of the exams you'd need, but important chunks are missing.

You can pass the initial NetWare 5 Administration exam, but I doubt you'd be well advised to take any of the others. The next chapter is Advanced Admin 5 and that's missing at least a chapter covering additional applications such as Border Manager and Groupwise which has made me put back that exam for lack of confidence in the source material here. And on further investigation, it only gets worse from there.

Net Technologies exam 50-632 is, (allegedly), now a very difficult exam, but this book includes nothing on subnetting/supernetting, etc and tries to cover the whole subject, (in relatively big text), in about 84 pages. Not a chance! It seems more to be aiming at the previous exam.

As such I've given up on it and have gone over to the Exam Cram series of books.

In conclusion - although I feel the intentions were good, it's a book which is most useful as a quick reminder before applying a subject you haven't seen in a while - but little else and not what it claims to be.

Do I regret buying it - well no - but I wouldn't now if I had the choice again.

Summary: Not a bad book after all, very useful
Comment: I used this book for the service and support, NDS Impl, and intergrating Windows NT and I passed very well. an average of about 80% on each test. I agree it needs some proper editing. Not as bad as some of my collegues have put down

Summary: Disappointed by lack of editing
Comment: I studied this book, foolishly thinking that it would prepare me for all six exams. Went into "Netware Admin" exam feeling quite confident and came out having passed only by a small margin. So far, I've reported approximately four inaccuracies to Osborne and (three weeks later) I've received "zero" response from the authors. On page 385, the text states min. free space required for SYS: volume is 150 MB. On page 406, the text contradicts itself by stating minimum SYS: volume space required as 200 MB. And the hits just keep coming and coming...I would not recommend this book to anyone, based on the numerous informational inaccuracies and lack of editorial attention.
