Reader Reviews
Having dealt with Microsoft over the past 14 years and taken some of their exams, I have found that nothing beats study material that not only covers the objectives but also gives you the ability to learn at your pace and has good hands-on exercises. That is what I found here in this book. This self paced, 1100 page book has been updated since its initial release so there is improvements within the text itself. In part 1 you have over sixty lessons to work at your pace, work them over and over till you understand the material and then move on. Part 2, which was my favorite part the book, is the test prep section. This is broken down objective by objective with review questions included. The cd included now has practice exams and a 120-day evaluation copy of Windows 2000 Server. Overall new updates, better lesson breakdown and an very good exam review section make this a very useful tool to work with.
