Like all quality exam preparation books, this one provides information on the when, what, where, why, and how of much of the CNE exam. For example, you can find out everything from where exams are held to what trick questions might crop up. Also included is a 77-question sample exam, along with an answer key and an extensive glossary.
In addition to its test coverage, this book explains core components of NetWare, such as the Novell Directory Services (NDS). It gives the basic concept and then, in the case of NDS, for example, moves on to objects, tree structures, and the like, always doubling back to reiterate the information. The opening page of each chapter contains two lists--terms you'll need to understand and techniques you'll need to master--a feature we especially liked because it's a great way to help the reader maintain focus throughout the book. --Sarah L. Roberts-Witt
Topics covered: Novell certification exams, NetWare 5 administration, file-system and application management, remote-access administration
