The Perfect Study Guide

I just passed the 710 exam after reading this book. The book covers everything that is on the exam and the CD is a great review tool (The first CD to come with a book that I found useful!) and after that it still makes a good reference tool for work. I read this book twice, did all the questions and practice questions in the book then read the Microsoft 710 Readiness Review Exam - and I was more than ready for the exam. Better than spending $500-$5000's for classes and felt I learned more than any computer review class I have taken. Good luck!

Very Helpful

I just finished taking and passing the Professional exam, and I have to say this book is right on in regards to coverage. While I do have some quality hands on with the OS, this book detailed what i should expect on the exam, and covered the material fully. It really filled me in on the holes I had in my knowledge, and helped fill those holes. As a side note- do not skip the CD. I found the CD really helpful...

Another Great Book!

This is another great book by the Shinder's and the Syngress team. It covers every objective that is tested on the Microsoft Professional exam, and prepares aspiring 2000 MCSE students for their first test very well. I read the book and passed the exam without any problem at all. I didn't need to read any other books, but I did do all of the labs and exercises at home a few times before attempting the exam.Tom and Deb Shinder have written many, many books on the Windows 2000 OS and all have been superb. I would recommend this book to MCSE's who are preparing for the Professional exam, educators who teach MCSE classes, and IT professionals who are planning an upgrade or will need to support these machines as clients.Good Job!

Perfect for the new breed MCSE Exams

Microsoft has raised the bar significantly with the MCSE 2000 exams, which has made it much more difficult to study for these exams. Not that the NT track was easy, but if you knew your facts, you would probably pass. Not so with 2000. The Shinder's book not only covers all of the objectives on the Professional exam, but it teaches it all to you in the same manner that Microsoft tests you on it. The exercises, the real-world type questions, and the CD make this a really comprehensive study tool. I passed the exam using this book, and I'm studying for Server now using their book. So far, it's just as good.

More than enough information to pass the exam.

AS a free lance reviewer I get to read and review hundreds of books and often I find several great books on every subject. Also as a freelance reviewer I never do comparative reviews, my reviews are based solely on the content of each book. This book ranks as one of the best for passing the 70-210 exams and will be a nice addition to my technical library.The book starts from the beginning with installing, configuring and administration of 2000 professional, then you move to administration of the resources, file & print systems, troubleshooting, optimizing, networking, security and user accounts to make this one of the most complete books on the subject. Each chapter breaks down the topics in the smaller more understandable sections and gives you exercises to perform along the way to enhance the learning process. There are also questions, labs, a two-minute drill and self-test in each chapter. The book is also the perfect classroom book, as it seems to be tailored made for instructor lead classes. The book includes a cd-rom with CertTrainer, a lab simulator and ExamSim with adaptive practice exams. Finally there are over 30 minutes of audio material on the cd and also an electronic version of the book included. The authors have left no stone unturned and have given you a great opportunity to pass the exam the first tie around. The book is priced under $50.00 and on-line you can purchase for less. Whether new the MCSE game or an old hand, this book will have you moving into the new millennium of computing!
