Fast growing certification gains in popularity. The new MCSE certification launched in March and already there are 17,000 MCSA-certified professionals (data as of May, 31, 2002, Microsoft Corp.). This exam also serves as an elective for MCP status and other certifications.

First in-depth security exam from Microsoft. As Microsoft certification guru Ed Tittell points out, "this is the first real, nuts-and-bolts security exam in the MCP line-up. This exam is the first MCP test to really dig into some of the most important details involved in locking down Windows systems and networks in the first place, and to step systematically through the processes involved in keeping Windows networks and systems secured thereafter."
$2,000 worth of training wrapped in a $60 book/DVD/Web-enhanced training system. Certification Magazine's 2001 reader survey revealed that the average certification costs nearly $2,000. So our low-priced study package delivers unsurpassed value for cost-conscious IT departments and trainees.

Reader Reviews
Over the past 5 years usually I have already taken the certification test before reviewing the material, this way I can determine if the material would in fact help you pass the exam. For this book I decided to try it from the other way, use the book to see if I could pass the exam and this book did just that. Having little experience with security in a Windows 2000 network environment I used this book as the primary source of material to study for the exam. I spent 2 solid weeks reading and practicing the labs, as well as watching the DVD videos. I passed the exam first on the first try on February 28th. The book covers all objectives and I found the material to be right on the money with the exam questions I got. I also found that some of the material went beyond the actual exam which is certainly a bonus. There were exercises with utilities like MBSA, URLScan, HFNetChk and QChain, which explain how to use the utility and when to use the utility. One thing I did find is the new version of MBSA has HFNetChk built in, so you may have to be flexible with the exercises. This can be fixed in the next edition. Overall the material was very complete; there is also a web connection to Syngress where you can get a free web based exam. So if you are looking for a book that can help this one should work.
