Customer Reviews

Search Inside option is wrong
I am looking at buying this book but wanted to make sure it was for OS 10.5. The Search Inside option that Amazon are offering is not a true reflection of the book as it is showing images from inside the previous book 10.4. The way I found this out was to search for the book via an American online book store, find a picture of the front cover which said it was for Leopard, note down it's ISBN number and then find it here on Amazon.

If you look carefully the ISBN number of the book does not match that of the one on the Copyright page viewable through the Search Inside options.

Therefore this book appears to be the right one if you want a Leopard Training book.

Hope this helps.

A must have for OS X Server administrators!
I have used this book on the front lines for some time now and can't emphasise enough how important I think it is to any OS X administrator's technical reference repertoire. The book works steadily through installation of OS X Server using both remote and local installation options; configuration of basic services (DNS and AFP to name two) and then leads into managed preferences, imaging, ARD (though not as well as the second volume of the administrator's series) and the section on share points and permissions is invaluable, since these topics can become a quagmire very quickly if you aren't prepared. I have to say that I use this manual daily at work- books like this one are a major cause of stress reduction for administrators everywhere!

Good Supplement to the Apple Documents
I bought the Tiger Version previously, I bought this Leopard Version when we upgraded our servers - the book is really handy - it's not a classroom in a book, but a good supplement to Apple's pdf documentation.
