Otherwise, the authors have laid out the material here very well and have made Snow Leopard Server relatively easy to dive into. To be fair, none of that is really the fault of the authors it's just a personal preference. To be fair, in Support Essentials, you are being shown how things work and why they don't when they don't, whereas in Server Essentials, you are shown a similar wealth of support knowledge, but it's not as straightforward in terms of developing that kind of support skills and it's all mainly from the standpoint of the three main OS X Server administrative apps (Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, and Server Preferences), which can be hard to digest by comparison. I'm not sure how much of that can be blamed on the book rather than on the exams and on the material covered in the book.

Similarly, I found that while the concepts taught in this book ARE tested on in the Mac OS X Server Essentials 10.6 exam, this book really only does so much to prepare one for that exam.certainly nowhere near as much as the Support Essentials books do for the corresponding Support Essentials exams.

Going from not knowing much about servers to this, I was able to learn a lot, but it was still somewhat of a bumpy ride. It's easy to understand and it is well laid out.

Great Introduction to Mac OS X Server and Servers in General!Īs far as showing one a basic overview of Mac OS X Server 10.6 goes, this book definitely delivers.
