5.0 out of 5 stars A great companion to the software Nov 1 2011
By Jim Dixon - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book contains several hundred pages of step-by-step instructions that show you how to do all kinds of things, including setting up an email server, using Lion Server to connect to Active Directory, and managing clients. It also explains concepts that beginners might not know about, such as the types of network directory servers you can create and access control lists for file sharing. For the reviewer who said there's nothing about DNS in the book, check out the index, where you'll find a whole column of listings that are in the book.)

Some of Lion Server's features are not easy to find -- such as using different SSL settings for different services. This book tells you where everything is in a step-by-step manner. The screen shots are very helpful as well.

A lot of the information in Lion Server for Dummies is nowhere to be seen at Apple's web site, and Lion Server's Help system is pretty sparse. I found a PDF at Apple's web site that doesn't mention some of the things you can do with Lion Server, let alone how to set it up. I found this book to be a great help in figuring out Lion Server. If you have Lion Server, you should have this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, Basic Book Dec 12 2011

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
MacOS X Lion Server answered a number of questions about setting up an in-house mail server and that alone was worth the price.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not sure who this book is for. Jun 11 2012
By Steven Bradford - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I guess the point of the title is to make the reader feel like a dummy. I've been using computers since the cpm days, but have no experience with servers directly. I wanted to set up a file server with a couple dozen users. I must be a bigger dummy than this is written for, as it was completely opaque to me.
