Product Review
Don't look here for in-depth information on how things work inside Windows NT Server 4--that's not what this book is about. Rather, come to this book expecting to find only the barest outline of the essential facts--information that ought to remind you of information you already know--and lots of questions designed to help you review.

MCSE Exam Cram: NT Server 4 includes all the NT Server 4 material--installation, file systems, RAID (redundant array of independent disks), hardware configuration, NetWare, printing, RAS (remote access server), and the rest. The authors limit your focus by directing you right to what you need to understand. After all, this is not a technical reference, but a last-minute review guide, designed to let you review your weak areas on your way to the exam, if necessary.

The real strength of MCSE Exam Cram: NT Server 4 is its questions. Although there aren't as many questions as one would like, a bright discussion of why the correct answer is what it is follows each one. One major shortcoming is that the answers to the quiz questions appear immediately below the questions themselves, tempting even the most diligent scholar's gaze. This book would be better if the answers and their discussions appeared on the backs of the question pages.

Reader Reviews
This is not a book to buy just to make your sole study guide, for me this a review book, a very good review book. It is simple, goes to the point and has a lot of quetions to make you think. The best thing is that it explains the answers very detailed and it even gives you where to find more information. Believe me this is very good side book, you buy a big main book, one that has 800 pages and explains in details what you want to learn (like Sybex or IDG). A few days before the test you take this book and go over the most important aspects of Windows NT Server. If you though that you were going to pass with just one book, think twice. You need at least two books and some practice to pass. If you don't believe me, let me tell you that so far I have passed 3 Microsoft, 1 Novell and 2 A+ Certification exams on the first try. Good luck on your test.
