2.0 out of 5 starsLook elsewhere for in depth information18 Oct 2011
By Compunut - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is primarily written for users who are new to servers and trying to go through the process of setting up a server for the first time. It amounts to a series of screen shots of all of the wizards and little more. If you are looking for a book to provide details on advanced use of this product or how to troubleshoot issues that occur, this book will not help.
I bought this book in hopes that it would provide answers to problems I was having with the wizards. Google was not helpful at the time because the product has not been out that long. I ended up finding my own solutions and workarounds to the issues as this book told me nothing that I couldn't figure out with a quick glance at the screen that was in front of me anyway.

2.0 out of 5 starsAn Installation Guide17 Dec 2012

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you need an installation guide, this book is a very good step-by-step presentation. If you want to, or need to know anything indepth, or need troubleshooting tips, you need to look somewhere else.

2.0 out of 5 starsHard to navigate22 May 2012

General content and limited navigation with no search features make this book hard to use with the software. Great format if you just want to read about the software. Buy a hard copy if you are going to use it with a server.
