Product Description
As the first server platform to let Mac, Unix, and Linux users share files and printers out of the box, Mac OS X Server promises to revolutionize the world of network administration (or at least make it a whole lot easier). Here to make sure you don't get left behind is Mac OS X Server: Visual QuickPro Guide. In this task-based guide, veteran Mac expert Schoun Regan shows you how to manage local networks, navigate the Unix file system permission architecture, and administer Internet and Web services. You'll also explore the ins and outs of IP-based file sharing and printing services and learn about all that's new in the latest of Apple's big cats, Panther Server: improved setup, management, and monitoring capabilities; enhanced Windows integration; new workgroup and desktop management tools; and more. Clear, concise language, step-by-step instructions, and loads of visual aids mean that even beginners can get up to speed on Mac OS X Server--quickly and efficiently--with this guide.
About The Author
Schoun Regan is CEO of ITInstruction.com and leads its group of roving IT specialists, The Mac Trainers. Schoun routinely travels North America training users on Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server, Windows integration, and image management and deployment. He organizes and speaks at the Mac OS X Pro conference sessions at Macworld Expo and various other conventions, educational institutions, and businesses. Previously, Schoun was a Macintosh Network Support Administrator for a Fortune 100 company, and he has written for Tech Republic, Emazing, and other print and online magazines. He enjoys micro-brewed beer and still believes in mapping his own personal genome code and turning it into a board game.
Kevin White honed his skills as a technology coordinator for the University of Kentucky, where he achieved Ultimate Guru status. Using these powers for good, he roams the countryside sharing his knowledge of the “Apple way.” Since 2002, he has inspired throngs of Macintosh devotees at every stateside Macworld Expo to rise up against the Redmond hegemony. As Mac mercenary for hire, he answers to no one—except for his employers at ITInstruction and MacTown. Kevin lives on the road, but many suspect he has a secret lair somewhere in Louisville, KY.
Customer Reviews & Comments
Covering Mac OS X Server in a single book is a hard, hard thing to do. You certainly can't get everything in there; there's just too much. But for all those limitations, the authors certainly manage to do an awesome job. The fact is that the documentation included with Mac OS X Server - and the stuff available online at Apple's website - is woefully inadequate. This book fills that void and does it really well. From start to finish, the authors seem to have made every effort to avoid a situation where the reader looks at a section and goes "huh?" The section on Mail services is pretty cool, as is the stuff on Web Services and Open Directory. This is a definite must-have for anyone working on or thinking about deploying Mac OS X Server, be it in an SMB setting or in larger-scale enterprise scenarios. Schoun Regan has a well-deserved reputation as one of Apple's finest Certified Trainers and his shows at Macworld are consistently packed. This book represents a healthy chunk of his knowledge and experience.
