Product Review
Windows 2000's purpose in life is to facilitate networking, with its various Server machines hosting community resources and its Professional boxes collaborating securely. If you're aiming to become a
Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), especially a
Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), you need to understand the material in
MCSE: Windows 2000 Network Administration Study Guide. It's designed to help you prepare for the Implementing and Administering a Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure exam (70-216), and it succeeds at that. Perhaps more importantly, the book teaches the practical aspects of network construction and management in a
Microsoft environment.
A typical section has to do with security for remote access services, beginning with what purpose the technologies serve, and all of the relevant pieces of the system--this is where all the acronyms get decoded. With the groundwork laid, you learn how to do the relevant hands-on work: there are explicit instructions for configuring callback and setting the number of failed login attempts that causes account lockout, among other tasks. Some tips and a chapter outline conclude the coverage, and an exam-like quiz (with annotated answers on separate pages) concludes each chapter.
--David Wall Topics covered: The material

Reader ReviewsExcellent Study guide- if you're buying only one book for the 70-216 exam, this should be the one. I spent a week reading the book, and another 3-4 days on the CD . After this time, I was well prpeared for the exam. The book is extremely well done, and accurate. The one surprise I had coming was in regards to the CD. From past Study Guide purchases I was expecting a CD that was in the fair to Ok range. This one was really, really good. It has the entire Study Guide on it, which made it easy for me to carry to work- comes with video, audio tracks for the car, practice exam, etc. I was really happy with this book- my experience with this one made me pick up the Syngress Directory Services book.
