Customer Reviews

Good reference book...

Great book. Mr Archer does a good job bringing technical knowledge together with practical application. It obviously won't give you everything you need to know for exam. But I don't know a book that does on any subject. I recommend it.Happy Reading!

Covers Exam

This book is exactly what Microsoft wants. Microsoft wants IT people to start thinking of the business and that's how you structure the Active Directory. I read this book cover to cover, got the Transcender demo, and some other Internet study "guides". This book got me a pass on the exam. Yes the first chapters are not on the exam but the thought process is. Chapters 10-14 are the meat of this and if you do the book and the exercises you will have gone a long way to pass the exam. The transcender demo shouwed me what the exam looked like (the new format) but was not that helpful, dumps and guides were OK to refresh the book, but when I took the exam I got case studies that were on the dumps but the questions were different, the name was the same but the solution had changed. You still have to reason through this to pass and this book helps you see what is going on with DNS, Group Policy and Active Directory design option.

Must have for Design exams

This book ia a must have for anyone who is in the industry as a Consultant or Systems Engineer. Mr. Archer has done a tremendous job of bringing an overwhelming amout of information into a concise, well structured and easy to read book. Some of the reviews I have read have knocked this book on the amount of technical information. These readers should have read the introduction of this and the other "design" books which clearly state that the core technical information is in the administering ... training guides. If you do not have a grasp of the technical skills, how can you possibly hope to design a solution.

Solid

Haven't taken the test yet, but this is the first time studying for a MS test that I feel I've gotten something new out of preparation.Overall, the book is solid, it covers the information required, and I think I'm well prepared for the test. However, there are a few annoyances. Many of the review questions are ambiguously written. The test software refers to case studies in the book and doesn't give them in the context of the question.

Very comprehensive study guide

This book is very comprehensive, but tended to go into so much depth so as to try to cover too many different aspects of the 2K product. Often went off on tangents. Despite this minor problem, It did clearly present EVERYTHING you would want or need to know about designing a directory services infrastructure and then some.
