I just would like to tell you that I really like your book. Very few books give a high level and high density of information while being very fluently readable. It is a pleasure to read "NT Server for Netware Admins".

<HR> November 22, 1997 This is a great book. As a Netware administrator with no NT experience, I was looking for one book that would help me learn NT quickly. This book does that. It tells me exactly what I need to know about NT, and it puts that information in context with what I already know about Netware. I'm puzzled by Mr. Kiernan's criticisms of it. As he says, the book is informative and well-written. The first part of the book covers NT specifics, and the last part deals exhaustively with integrating Netware and NT. I thought the author was even handed. He appears to like NT, but frequently pointed out problems with it and even things that Netware does better. I went back to the bookstore and bought another copy for one of my friends. I'd recommend this book without reservations to anyone who knows Netware and wants to learn about NT.

<HR> November 21, 1997 I was very disappointed with the book, and returned my copy. I expected a book that would explain Microsoft networking and NT server in terms that a NetWare administrator could follow: this book doesn't deliver. The author spends considerable time telling us how NT is "better" than NetWare 3. Why? If you want an up-to-date NOS, you will upgrade to IntranetWare, NT or UNIX. Comparing NT to NetWare 3 is pointless. This book should have been titled "How to replace your NetWare 3 network with NT 4.0" It spends too much time telling us how lousy NetWare is, and why we should get rid of it. Much of the book comes off as Microsoft cheerleading. As an NT reference, this book is informative and well-written. But if does little to help NetWare administrators work with NT, or to integrate NT into a NetWare network.
