Managing an Inherited NetWare Network is designed for network administrators facing the real how to handle an existing network that may be marginally understood, poorly documented, and sorely in need of improvement. This practical handbook takes a logical, start-to-finish approach to the process of managing an inherited network. You'll focus on network goals, rather than isolated features of NetWare, as you learn to identify server hardware and software, identify client hardware and software, develop a disaster-recovery plan, understand the network's role in the organization, resolve security issues, fix common network problems, find available resources and answers to networking questions, implement upgrades and patches, and plan for future needs. Written by a professional network administrator, this insightful guide also explores the human aspects of network administration, from dealing with network users, technical staff, and vendors, to selling your network ideas to top management.
