Reader Reviews
If someone were to actually follow the advice given in this book, he would be quickly out of a job. Modern business does not put up with the attitude presented by the author. In the conclusion, he actually writes, "To be a good network administrator is to have your end users love you. To be a great network administrator is to have your users too scared to ask you for help". A person with this attitude would not make it past the first interview in any organization I have worked for. In other words, this is a book on how to make yourself useless to your organization. This is such an outdated mode of thinking. The modern IT department is an internal customer service organization (and if it is not it will soon be outsourced); not an adversarial IT guy versus end user organization. There is only about two paragraphs of useful knowledge in this book (under "The know your servers" and "Know the server room" headings). This author proves the old adage "Those who can't do teach". I would recommend a pass on this title.
