Customer Reviews

I like this book!

This book has a lot of information that I can use to manage my network and my employees who use the network. I appreciate the honest, straight-forward advice...she tells me the truth and offers some ways to help me do my job. And don't you wonder about those two reviews from Apr. 22? Maybe they're written by a competitor...

This book has information I couldn't find elsewhere.

I'm new to my IT job and I've been worried about so many issues. My users are often up in arms and my bosses want me to fix everything at once. This book has helped figure out how to help. Because of the advice in this book, I've contracted to outsource many of our problem areas and I've started a help desk of users helping users. Since I got this book, my job is already easier. I plan to use many more ideas and advice from the book. It's worth my job to me.

Always trust a Wiley/Plumley book!

John Wiley and Sons, Inc, always put out quality books and when ever I'm looking for a book, I check out theirs first. I've also seen several of Sue Plumley's books and I've always been impressed. Since she's started writing for Wiley, her books have become more detailed, complex, and interesting. This book is no exception. From the overall view of planning and setting up a network to the tiny details of helping users, Network Administration Survival Guide is just what the doctor ordered!

Intelligent, thoughtful advice
