It helped me a lot, September 23, 2008

The training DVD helped me to expedite the setup of two new Leopard servers in my company. Study and setup took about two days (with the usual interruptions).
I have pre-ordered "Mac OS X Leopard Server Bible" by the same author in the hope that it will deal with some of the issues that the previous reviewer had.

KeleThe Series does a good job of showing step by step by step installation & configuration of an intrAnet -
Where it falls VERY short, is what to do or check if your replication does not go as smooth - or if you are trying to set up a server to offer services beyond a local LAN.
Absolutely NOTHING is covered in the way of troubleshooting or what to do if things go wrong-
So if you want to WATCH a smooth server installation this would be a good choice for you - if you are trying to install your own or troubleshoot an installation/configuration then it will be of no help at all.
