Best Server + Study Book Available

This is an excellent teaching and review guide for the Comptia Server+ exam. The study material is 502 pages, with factual information regarding every aspect of Server knowledge, along with easy to understand explanations of less obvious facts. Each chapter has a review, and a 100 question practice test covering all the material is at the end of the book. The included CD also has a 264 question practice test divided into four parts. The book is logical, easy to read, and contains no irrevelant or made-up information, as is found in many other Server + guides on the market. It is written by one author rather than a committee, which may account for its conciseness and readabiltiy. This is one of the the best overall Certification books I have read, and give it a wholehearted 5 star rating.

Dream for the Server+ exam

This is the book you dream for, to learn, understand and pass the Server+ certification. I am so happy that I passed the first time. Thank you!!

Make this your primary study guide

Before I decided on a Server+ study guide I check out "Server+ Exam Cram",Server+ Exam Prep: Exam: SK0-001 (wrong exam number it's a O not a 0)" andServer+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide" these books are very good, butServer+ Certification Bible by Trevor Kay comes out the winner as far as I'mconcerned. I am only 19 years old with very little network serverexperience. I ended up buying the All-in-One book, and the Server+Bible.The Server+ Bible was the more exam accurate of the two. When I sayaccurate I mean that this book was very helpful with helping the readerunderstand what to expect on the real exam and what key points to remember.Now I am going for my MSCE.

It does the job

The Server+ exam is a tough one for sure. You will need a good text book to study from but also some hands on experience will help. The only reason I purchased this book was because of the great reviews it has been receiving. This book does the job if your interested in passing the Server+ exam and you do not have tons of hands on experience. This book strictly focuses on the actual exam, that is why I believe it is so popular for just a text book. You don't have to be a technical geek to understand the concepts in this book. You can tell the Server+ Certification Bible was written with the reader in mind. You don't have to have years of server experience to pass this exam just a good text book that focuses strictly on the topics needed to pass. I'm happy with it because it helped me pass the exam and I just wanted everyone to know :)

This is one great reference book - exam or not.

Since I started working with the beat process for Server+ I have tried to find books that take the exam part objective by objective and then give you the information you need. At the same time I also want a book that does more than spout out exam questions and answers this book seems to take care of these things. The book is broken down into seven parts with part 1 taking on the installation, environment topics. Part2 covers the RAID area very well and also the operating systems like Windows 2000, Netware and Unix. In part 3 is for the upgrade path for motherboards, hard drives, nics, ups and adapters. Part 4 is maintenance with backup, system monitoring and basic safety requirements. In part 5 you'll deal with security issues and different environmental issues like humidity, A/C and ventilation and filtration. Part 6 is the section I was most impressed with, troubleshooting from hardware to software and the techniques and the right diagnostic tools to use. Finally is part 7 Disaster recovery and what it takes to back up and restore. The book has a good pre-assessment questions and answer section with each chapter and the scenarios seems to reflect the normal work environment. Also include is a cd rom with hundreds of questions and the software is powered by Boson. Overall everything is here and the value seems fair.
