Customer Reviews

Very good Book

The book has helpful tips and time management techniques it explain the use of the different parts of the system, at the end of each chapter you will find questions to check your progress and they are similar to the real exam, however you need to use other tools (example - test) to pass the real exam. At the end of the book you get a review of essential exam-related terms and concepts.

Good book

I used this book and Measure-up practice tests to prepare for 70-215 Windows 2000 exam. I found the book complete and to the point. I did pass the test. I recommend using this book in combination with such practice tests as Transcender and Measure-up - simply reading the book isn't enough. Make sure you take practice tests and fully understand the problem discussed in each question - why the right answers are right and why the wrong answers are wrong. This approach works; the only problem - it's time-comsuming...

An MCT that upgraded his MCSE in three weeks

I found this book to be the best written of its kind. I read a lot of technical books on the Windows OS and related subjects, and most of the time I find them lacking. I felt that this book covered the needed material, and included the study aids as well. I have already recommended this book to other MCSE's that need to upgrade their certification.

Good for reference.

The practice exam part of this book shares same questionsas Microsoft Press's "MCSE Microsoft Windows 2000Server Readiness Review (Exam 70-215)". If you alreadyhave "Readiness Review" and want more practice tests,this may not be a book for you.Note: "Readiness Review" has some wrong answers,which is corrected in this book.This book is good for reference, but covers too broadarea to concentrate only on 70-215. If you read this bookpage by page from page 1 to last just for 70-215, you wouldend up spending extremely long time for things that nevercome up in the real exam.Actually, this book has a table that shows whichobjectives of the test are covered in which chapters,so you can skip some chapters not in the table.If you encoutner some important concept that you are notso familar with, you can go back and forth in thebook to read the chapter that explains it. This book surely has such chapter.This book explains complex concepts, such as DomainGroup, GPO, unattended installation, and VPN, in enoughdetail. If you want reference for these things to pass the exam,this book would be a good choice.
