Customer Reviews

Great Book

This is a well thought out well-written reference and learning tool for today's most used groupware product, Lotus Notes. It contains some erroneous information related mostly to the OS/2 operating system but truth be told most Notes implementations today are done on the Windows NT operating system. This is a must read for any Notes administrator serious about best practices related to administration. Buy it. Read it. Use it. Be successful.

Great Book

I have to agree with the reader from Alamedia CA. My company just went through a large conversion to Notes 4.5. Currently I only have tops... 6 mos experience in Notes Administration. When I say Notes Administration I mean everything from creating users and troubleshooting to bringing up new servers and database developement. There are plenty of occasions a reference book is needed. I found that the author does a great job at providing the reader with useful information, in an easy to follow manner, rather than assuming experience and knowledge. The author identifies key elements to a successful roll-out, gives installation guidelines, explains all parts of Notes and how they work together, provides the how to's of Administration and tops it off with Security issues.It may not include all information wanted on OS/2, but nowadays how many shops are OS/2? Let's keep in mind that this book is focused on LOTUS NOTES DOMINO Archetecture, Administration and Security.This author also has a study guide out for the CLP exams, all of the reviews I have read are excellent, I'll reserve that review until I take the test.

Good book - I use it a couple of times a week

Unlike some other reviewers, I found this very useful in explaining some things better than the product documentation. I'm afraid OS/2 is not that important these days (my company doesn't bother putting it on my professional resume anymore), so I'm not that interested about any alleged details which are missing or incomplete in that area. This book takes the time to explain advanced concepts for those who already understand the basics in Notes. Despite the mention of 4.6 on the cover, this is hardly mentioned - but I think this is the fault of the editors, not the authors. I would look forward to an updated version for R5 of this book.
