The new CYA series shows how to “cover your a** by getting it right the first time” and will appeal to today’s busy network administrators who find themselves managing more than their share of applications, installations, and upgrades. CYA books are written in a “get to the point” style that clearly explains exactly what readers need to know about installing, managing, and troubleshooting a product.
