What this book covers
The tips and tricks in this book are based on real life scenarios that NetWare administrators come across on a daily basis. Tips are divided into twelve categories, ranging from the installation, upgrade, and configuration of a NetWare server to advanced searches in iMonitor, iManager and ConsoleOne and from chaining login scripts to working with NetWare's internal debugger.
This book contains information about practical issues and uses a practical approach to solve and prevent problems that administrators can come across in their NetWare environment. The author did not intend to create a book with all the background information that exists on the NetWare Operating System. Instead, he has described how to work with the tools and how to implement the tips in a new or existing NetWare environment. When necessary, he explains the technical concepts to help the reader understand what happens while implementing a specific tip.
This book is not a complete guide for NetWare Administrators. Common daily operations like creating users and managing rights on a NetWare server are explained in the product manual and many of the NetWare Administrator’s guides that are readily available.
The tips and tricks in this book work on recent versions of NetWare. Some tips may even work on NetWare 3, 4 and 5. The author has focused primarily on NetWare 6 and 6.5 for his research and has also tested many tips on the NetWare version of Open Enterprise Server.
For whom is this book interesting?
You are managing a NetWare server and know how to perform daily management tasks. You understand the most important concepts of eDirectory, such as replica types and what partitioning means, and you know how to work with the server console.
You can use some additional information on how the NetWare server works, and how you can perform management tasks easier. You want to know how to fix problems that occasionally occur in your NetWare environment and you want to know how to prevent problems from happening.
Whether you have just started working with NetWare or Open Enterprise Server, or have been a system manager for ten years; you will find information in this book that you do not already know and that you can use in your environment.
