Reader Reviews
This product has a few very basic exercises in each category that is supposed to go along with exam objectives. Some of them are guided, some are 'open' labs, but either way there are only a few steps for most of them and they will not get you nearly to the level that you need for the exam. The exam is much more difficult. If you are going to spend $100 get Virtual PC or VMware and set up something that way. Also, if you are using the MS Press books that come from the self-paced training kit they have a 6 month trial version of Server 2003, so get the kit, get Virtual PC or some old computers and build a little network. If this product ever drops to $20 or so then grab it but don't blow $100 bucks on it. Also, as a side note, for the first exam you don't need a virtual trainer, Virtual PC or a network anyway. You can learn just about everything you need to know just by installing Server 2003 (which comes in trial version form with many Server 2003 cert books) and messing around with it. I don't know about the other exams but I do know that this product is a waste of money for the first exam. Also, if you are planning on taking other certs such as Linux or Novell, with Virtual PC you can install those OS'es inside your regular Windows installation and mess with them without having to dual boot or format or whatever. Good luck and buy something else!
