Customer Reviews

Provides the info you need

This book, while not perfect, does provide the information you need to pass the Server+ exams. Server+, unlike the A+, is a tough exam- you really need to be looking at a couple of resources, AND have hands-on experience.

Self study or classroom this may be the answer.

CompTIA's latest certification Server+ is fastly becoming a measuring stick for server technicians. The exam is vendor neutral and the amount if information is vast but with books like this one there is a good chance of passing the exam first time around. I like the fact that there are over 30 hands-on exercises to work with. The fact that book is laid out according to the exam objectives and that each objective is given ample coverage. Topics like installation and planning of the server, hardware like the BIOS, hard drives, motherboards and RAID with mirroring and duplexing. Windows 2000 and Netware 5.1 are covered as is adding hardware and upgrading equipment. Other areas with coverage include SNMP, UPS, baseline setup and monitoring, backup systems and schemes, troubleshooting and disaster recovery procedures. The book includes a self test and end-of-chapter review questions. Finally there is a cd rom included with CertTrainer, which has over 200 practice test questions, the e-book and Exam Sim. Overall a nice value.
