Schoun routinely travels North America, training users on Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server, Windows integration, and image management and deployment.

Focusing specifically on Account Management and Deploying Mac OS X Server, this comprehensive reference provides in-depth information on Mac OS X Server's technical architecture.

Following the learning objectives of the Apple Certified System Administrator exam, this book is a perfect supplement to Apple's own training class and an in-depth technical reference for existing system administrators and engineers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive series but surely valuable, July 25, 2006
This review is from: Apple Training Series: Mac OS X v10.4 System Administration Reference, Volume 2 (Paperback)
My one and only complaint is the cost of these version specific books. The next OS X will be out in just a few months, but here we are with a 10.4 specific book. And of course this book by itself doesn't do much: you need others in the same series to have a good overall picture.

But: as I expect with Apple docs, these are very nice: good looking, well presented, excellent coverage. For a Windows admin needing to understand OS X, these would be perfect, and they also are aimed at specific Apple Certification courses, so someone planning to take those would also benefit.

Be warned: there's plenty of detail left out. You need to do the exercises, you need to experiment, and you probably will need other resources too. But this (with the other Server oriented books in the seies) definitely is an excellent introduction and reference.
