Customer Reviews

Good book

This is a good book and a great place to start if you are tasked to setup AD using 2008 technology. I would like to see a little more details but I am very detail oriented so I can not really complain because after all it is a study guide. It is worth buying, reading, and referring to when needed.

MCSE, MCITP and MCTS

70-640 is a breeze after using this book just finished all of my certifications and this book made the 70-640 exam easy. I would recommend this book to my co-workers, friends and strangers alike. If you are prepping for the 70-640, this is all you will need to understand the content and pass the exam. The authors of this book knew how to gear the content to make it easier for you to understand and pass the exam.

Absolutely Outstanding!

This book is absolutely outstanding! They way the authors break down each section and give real world scenarios make this book unique. Given the changes in Server 2008 this book is a must have if you wish to pass the 70-640. After reading this book and using the CD I have passed the test and I know it was because of this outstanding book! I highly recommend this book if your goal is to pass the 70-640 while still obtaining a firm grasp on each concept.

If you want to pass 70-640, get this book!

The writing and delivery styles of Will Panek will grab and hold your attention throughout this book. Windows Server 2008 introduced numerous changes over 2003 and the author does a fantastic job of using real world scenarios and examples to teach them to you. Mr. Panek inserts humor in appropriate situations to keep your attention and make a point. If you complete this book you will pass the exam. I look forward to more from this great author.

More informative than MS-Official Self-Paced Training Kit

Having previously read the official Microsoft study guide for 70-640, I can tell you that this is by far the better product. Not only does the author ensure that you retain the information by the use of modern, easy to understand language, but he provides enough exercises that someone with no previous active directory experience can still gain a working knowledge of the ins and outs of AD 2008. Whether you are an AD novice or a seasoned professional, I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a one-stop guide for the 70-640 exam.
