Exams are " money-making shams.” But the book is useful.

Exams are a way to make "money for nothing and chicks for free.” This book is barely discernible from the NT books, and I am sure the XP will not be long off. I did not buy it for the exam, as People who pass exams only show that they can remember questions. However, Windows 2000 seems to be with us for a while, and this book does a good job of pointing out problems before they happen to allow for a preventive plan. Networking is networking. However, Windows 2000 is not intuitive and is convoluted. So, without this or a similar book, your goose is cooked. The book has 14 chapters and an appendix. In them, they seem to take you from ground zero to an administrator with a few diagrams and a few pictures. Most of the contents seem to be written by someone who already knows the subject well enough to leave out what he thinks you should already know. As stated before, one reason for using this book is to cut through the convolution. On a UNIX-based host, the use of DHCP is as simple as filling out a form with base information all in one location. This book takes 20 pages to describe where and how to use DHCP as if it were a separate process from the operating system. There are better books, but this book is better than not.

2nd Edition much improved

I'm a teacher at a technical training center and we have the opportunity to try several training products. Sybex typically delivers the best all-around package, but of course we also encourage our students to use additional training resources such as the Transcender practice tests. In the case of the Sybex Network Infrastructure book, the first edition was hampered by overly-simplistic practice questions. The second edition is much improved in this regard. Overall, the book provides excellent coverage of both the exam and the skills you will be required to perform in the real-world. In particular, DDNS, DHCP, WINS, routing, RAS, and NAT are fundamental network infrastructure topics that this book nails.Like some other reviewers stated, the voice-work on the included videos leaves much to be desired, but this really doesn't detract from the book itself.

Pretty good

Used in conjunction with Exam Cram & Transcenders. Between those 3 sources I got enough ground covered to pass the exam.I think this would be an extremely difficult test to write a book for as it covers so much ground. I did find a few typos (in practice exam) and inconsistencies in the DNS chapter that were quite troubling though.I think the author did a good job taking an exceedingly dry topic and making it kind of fun to read. I have been happy with Sybex shtuff overall.
