Customer Reviews

Good book for 70-294 exam

I'm already a Windows 2000 MCSE. This book is a great review of Active Directory, including the differences between the 2000 and 2003 environments. I find Brian Culp's writing style very easy to read and entertaining. The humor in this book reminds me of some Dummies books that I've read. This book is much easier to read than the Mike Meyers 70-293 Network Infrastructure book by Martin C. Brown and Chris McCain. When I read the 70-293 book, I dozed off serveral times before I could finish Chapter 3. Brian Culp's book is also much easier to follow than the big boring Sybex series of books. I also think Brian Culp does a better job with the review questions at the end of each chapter. The explanations of the answers to the review questions are very helpful. Appendix C is also a great review of DNS.

Comprehensive, thorough and (no joke) entertaining

I can't say enough about the latest installment by this author. It's clear to me why the Passport series keeps going back to Mr. Culp, as his insight and knowledge are unequalled. Add his truly entertaining style of writing and this book is in a class of its own. When new products have come onto the market in the past, often we are forced to choose between books that read like stereo instructions and books "for Dummies," (both of which are currently being used to torture suspected Al Qaeda members). If you are looking to learn and actually enjoy the process, I highly suggest this book.
