Great book for exam 70-240!

While this book may not be the best book for exam 70-222, I used this book almost exclusively to study for exam 70-240 and passed with flying colors. The chapters in this book matched up almost exactly to those in my courseware, and explained it far better. This book will teach you everything you need to know about Windows 2000 administration and support, and did a great job of explaining troubling Active Directory concepts. This book covers nearly all of the objectives specified in the core Windows 2000 courses, and should not be dismissed so easily.

good book

Surprisingly, this was a good book on the introduce people to Windows 2000. I was very surprised as to how well this book was written. I have read other books published by Microsoft, and this is by far one of their best works. The book may not cover everything in the exam, but is a good book for those that already know about NT4.0.

Light reading

This was my first MS Press purchase for Win2K. Overall a light read. I am an MCSE/MCT and have already taken 1594 and 1567 - the information was the same. The nice thing about the training kits is that they ARE like the MOC's - complete with module timing and labs. I would not recommend this book to experienced MCSE's, but would recommend it to anyone that is just getting their feet wet or to those folks that have more `book learning' than experience. TTFN!

Just what I needed !

This was a very good book at giving me a quick and easy intro to Win2K. Yes, this book is short on details and missing some areas, but I'm already an experienced MCSE + Internet in NT 4.0 and the last things I wanted to see (again) were 100 page explanations of how WINS, DNS, NTFS permissions,etc,etc work. I read enough books on that subject matter already in getting the NT4 certification. If you are just getting started into NT with Win2000 and need more info then you should probably by one of those 1600+ page books on Win2K by Minasi, but I would not subject myself to that trauma again. I don't care how good anyone say's he writes.For me this book was just what I needed. Now I know what the main differences are between NT4 and Win2K and how and where to set up the most important things needed to incorporate it into my existing NT4 networks. From here, I will learn it hands on and also by later reading more specialized books. Personally, I learn better that way. All in all, this was a good book that you will learn from and you can finish it in a week.

GREAT Hands-on, weak on the details

This book is very good at allowing you to learn some of the "hands-on" of upgrading an NT network to a Win2k network. However, I found the book lacks in the amount of detail I was expecting for a study resource for the 70-222 exam. If the exam only covers the material contained in this book, it will be one of the easiest exams Microsoft has ever offered; but I doubt this will be the case.In sum, a GREAT book for someone that already has a good understanding of Win2k and needs a lot of hands on exercises to familiarize himself with the practical application of a well considered upgrade strategy.
