3-0 out of 5 stars Helpful
I have found Sybex books very helpful when preparing for MCSE certification exams.A combination of reading this book, hands on experience and taking transcender pretest exams helped me score a 900 on this exam in April of 2003.5-0 out of 5 stars win2000 exam 070-210 - Complete, friendly, and hands-on...
I passed my test today, and it was mainly due to this book! I used this as my primary study book, with the Dummies and ExamCram books being 2nd and 3rd sources of info respectively. All 3 are great books, but this Sybex book is by far the most complete and user-friendly when it comes to hands-on exercises and experience-based learning. I actually use 2000 Professional extensively (with this book), which helps tremendously with this test! The many screenshots in the book are high-quality too, and go well with the basic WinSim exercises on the CD. Visually & organizationally speaking, this is the most impressive book of the three! People can potentially pass using only this book! Because it's not in as easy to carry format as the others though, I found it helpful to use the additional books, at least when studying on-the-go. ExamCram and the Dummies books are great for this very reason: they're short, focused, to-the-point, and can be easily studied anywhere. I highly recommend using at least one of these books along with this Sybex book (as complete as it is), because the exam is crazy-difficult! I'm A+ and Network+ certified, used all three books, and I still feel fortunate to have passed. I kind of rushed through the material in these other books though, so had I failed it would have been on me and not these books. With certifications, it seems you can never be too prepared, but you have to take the test sometime!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book from Sybex
I highly reccomend this book to anyone who wishes to undertake the 70-210 exam.I used this book along with trancenders q's and I passed the test.The book was very clear and I had no problems understanding it.It wasnt boring, like some certification books are.If a certification book is dull and boring you will have no motivation to read it - this book is the opposite, its an easy read.I reccomend also they you do a fair ammount of practice q's as well, then you will understand what the q's are asking you, and what your expected to know.You may know the answer to the question, but the way the question is worded you think you have no idea.Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Exam Prep
The previous reviewer doesn't seem to understand the concept of exam cram books. They're written specifically to give you an idea of what's covered on the exam. They shouldn't be compared to $60, 800-page books that go into great detail about every little nuance of the technology. Crams are $30 and overviews. Let's make sure we're comparing apples to apples here. If you want more depth, sure, go buy a $60 book, but don't unfairly criticize a book because it doesn't do what it never claims it's supposed to do in the first place.

2-0 out of 5 stars Just OK
After reading both this book and the 70-297 Sybex book, there is no comparison.This book does not cover anything that you don't already know if you are on the MCSE track.It seemed to be more written for someone that is just taking this exam... and hasn't studied anything for the other 6 exams in the MCSE track.My advice, spend the extra $ and get the Sybex book by Brad Price... it will be money well spent, and you may actually learn something you don't already know... I know I did! ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars This book is all you need
Over about 4 weeks I read this book and took the practice exam in the back.I also used the questions on the CD to drill.I did not read any other books.I passed the test with a 905.I will agree that this book covers more material than you need, but it goes quick and it is very informative.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but not good
The book was not bad, but I think it focused on a lot of material that was not on the test.I knew the material from the book's test and CD practice test, but it didn't help me when it wasn't on the actualy exam.

4-0 out of 5 stars Helpful but not "the only thing you will need"
I thought this book really helped me pass 70-305.However, it will probably not be sufficient if you are just beginning with the material or if you are using it as your sole resource.I used it with Self Test Software and I did not have any trouble with the exam.Also, as some of the other reviewers mentioned there are a few mistakes in the book especially with the chapter review questions.However, I still plan to use it to pass 306 and 310.Overall I would give this book a 7 out of 10.

2-0 out of 5 stars Disappointment for beginners

2-0 out of 5 stars Good Idea ... bad execution
This book was a great idea in concept but it lacks in in execution.It suffers from poor editing.The examples often lack some critical piece that would make it very difficult for a beginner to complete the excercises and have working examples.

1-0 out of 5 stars Just Plain Worhless
If your intention is to pass the 70-291 test, don't waste your money or time on this book. It is an embarassment to the Exam Cram 2 series. It covers perhaps 60% of the test objectives in a very mediocre fashion. (In the future, I will be reading Amazon reviews *before* I buy the book!)

3-0 out of 5 stars This book is not for the 70-291
Other reviewers seem to have chosen the wrong book to review for some reason. I find it hard to believe that they can write a competent review on any book given the fact that they can't perform a simple search and post more than a few sentences on how they dislike a book that if read for one exam is probably not going to have a great deal to do with the other. Seems rather silly to me.

2-0 out of 5 stars Covers the info if you can weed through the fluff, don't use the CD
The book covers the information but does not lay it out in a form that is clear and concise. I will give you an example. The FSMO roles that DC's host can be seized if absolutely necessary, causing you to reformat the server. However it does not go into these in any reasonable detail. It skims the surface and leaves much to the imagination on what can be seized without messing things up and what can't, like the PDC role that can be seized but does not require a reformat of the original server.

5-0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, thorough and (no joke) entertaining
I can't say enough about the latest installment by this author.It's clear to me why the Passport series keeps going back to Mr. Culp, as his insight and knowledge are unequalled.Add his truly entertaining style of writing and this book is in a class of its own.When new products have come onto the market in the past, often we are forced to choose between books that read like stereo instructions and books "for Dummies," (both of which are currently being used to torture suspected Al Qaeda members).If you are looking to learn and actually enjoy the process, I highly suggest this book. ...

I think it's unfair that the author can submit comments and give herself a 5 star rating (twice!).She is just trying to skew the customer review rating.

5-0 out of 5 stars Helped me pass!
I'm wondering if the previous reviewers aren't those infamous paper-cert types who are looking for a quick fix despite not having the experience necessary to pass the exam? The 70-216 is the most difficult of the four MCSE 2000 core exams, so you can't just buy a small book like this and expect to pass. It's a very tricky exam. I found this book to be very helpful because it was a great supplement to other more in-depth books on the 70-216. I also bought a MeasureUp practice exam. Remember, what you get out of a test is what you put into it.

Let's say that they gave it a try. Labs are fine, just less than about 20 typos. Just like all other test-prep books, this one also have copied a lot out of MOCs and since MOC did not help with the certfiication, at least for SQL exams, this book did not come out good either. Even Sybex, Microsoft Press seem to follow the same trend. I gave it four stars, because labs are at least ordered and somewhat relate to the basic SQL admin skill. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A very Good Companion in Preparations for Exam 70-306
This certification study-resource formed part of my revision portfolio for Exam 70-306 (Windows-based Application Development with VB.NET).
5-0 out of 5 stars One of the Better Exam Crams
If you're taking the 70-306, this Cram is a must. It covers a LOT, much better than other Crams I've used (SQL Server 7, VB6, Windows 2000). I have an MCSD and MCDBA and am now going for MCSD.NET, so I've been through the ringer of books and prep software... this Cram is a winner. Read it ALL and do all the practice questions and you will be way ahead (no one book does it all). I did pass this morning with a 900, so I was quite eager to let folks know how much THIS Exam Cram book helped.
4-0 out of 5 stars Enough to Pass the Exam
I passed 70-306 by using this book and the Transcender practice tests.I would not recommend this approach if you have never programmed Visual Basic before.I have been programming Visual Basic 6 for about 3 years and started with this test because I was comfortable with windows programming and Visual Basic.Please do not use this book to learn VB.NET since it really only covers the material necessary for passing the exam.Read more

Editorial Review

Every modern organization shares data among its computer users and almost always via a local area network (LAN), so people who know how LANs work are in hot demand. If you want to break into networking, getting certified will prove your skills, so you might want to take the Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) exam in Networking Essentials (70-058). Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Everythign you need
Superb book for Networking. Pretty much everything you need for architecture planning. You will also need a good tcp/ip book and then you are set.

3-0 out of 5 stars Somewhat deceptive
This is a good book for beginers; it gives you a good base knowledge for other exams in an understandible manner. But don't by this book with the hopes of getting your MCP certification. The testing for Networking Essentials (70-085) was ended in november. Yet they still call it a MCSE training kit. Also, do a lot of reasearch outside of the book.

4-0 out of 5 stars Fun way to prepare
One of the more readable preparation guides for this exam.It misses a few topics that showed up on the exam, but I used this book along with some practice exams and passed the first time. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Good hardcopy, simplistic sample exams.
I have found the best way to drive concepts home for me, is to do lots of sample questions with explanations. The printed material in this set was invaluable.This book is primarily sample questions, with a brief overview of each objective prior to the questions. The answer sections give detailed explanations of why each choice was right or wrong. As I went through this all, I took notes and filled in my weak areas.1-0 out of 5 stars 700+ pages of stuff you already know
This guide was the first I found on XP.If you haven't certified on a fairly recent MS OS, this might be of use to you, but do not stop with this book.If really just scratches the surface.Most of the topics covered in the book (it does cover the objectives in a superficial way) are things the 70-270 test takes for granted you know.If you are 2000 certified, you want something else more geared to the specific differences between XP and 2000.The guide does include specific additional reading, usually from the Resource Kit or the Knowledge Base, and many hands-on lab setups (you need a 2 or 3 pc network, with 2000 Server on one).Bottom line, I do not feel this is a very good book by itself for any experience level.

2-0 out of 5 stars False sense of security
I get the impression that Dillard and Northrup really rushed to get this book onto the bookstands.Reading through chapter one I found many instances where the authors stated Windows 2000 when they meant to say Windows XP.For example, page 19 suggests that to install Windows XP you simply "insert the Windows 2000 Professional installation CD-ROM and reboot the computer."Well, last time I checked the Windows 2000 CD installed Windows 2000, not Windows XP.Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource

3-0 out of 5 stars Light hearted reading-a bit verbose at times.
I passed the first time, and i consider myself very lucky. However, i can certainly say it won't happen if you only read this book. There is a lot of good information in this book, but it is verbose and full of facts irrelevant to the exam. The main problem with most books is that their practice tests and exams don't really help you answer any real exam questions. I also used the exam cram series book to help supplement this book, which is great for reviewing thet material. Good luck.

1-0 out of 5 stars This book sucks
This book is a joke. When you compare the content of the book and the writing style of this author (Anil Desai) with the much more throrough content and superior writing style of an accomplished author such as Mark Minasi, it becomes apparent that some authors (like Desai) write simply to fill pages, while others actually write to fill pages with USEFUL and PRACTICAL knowledge. I'm just getting into Chapter 3 and so far I've learned absolutely nothing. Go ahead and buy this book, study it, and when you walk out of the exam room having failed miserably, you'll think to yourself, "Did I buy the right book?" That is the difference between the questions that will be given to you on a Microsoft exam, and the content of a book like this. Do yourself a favor -- try a different book.

3-0 out of 5 stars okay
I have found that each book on the 70-290 has a different perspective on the subject. This one had a section on vbs which was on the actual test the first time I took it but not on the actual test the second time. I didn't pass the first or second time with the second time encountering a very much harder test. The second test was 25 questions longer and 200% harder.I've been looking at other cnadidates' postings on other web sites and that seems to be the case with about 80% of the population that took this test. Microsoft changed the tests drastically the second time making it longer and harder.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book to read after reading Microsoft's book
This book fills in alot of the gaps that the Microsoft book leaves out. I believe it is a must to own this book if you are planning to take the 70-270 exam. I must note that the previous reviewer "Jedi" was absoulutly correct in his reviews and he helped me in picking the right books to pass the exam. This book is well written and should be used 2-3 days before going into the exam after using the free Measureup test provided with the Microsoft book. I must say that the Measureup test is VERY good and you will understand alot of it by reading this book and reviewing your answers on the Measureup cd after you get them wrong to see why you got them wrong.
5-0 out of 5 stars Just what you need to accompany your studies
I used the Microsoft 70-270 book for studying, and a few days before the exam, I just felt completely not ready for it. It is not as good as a book as the earlier reviews have said (read my review of it for an honest opinion). To pass the Microsoft exams these days, you need more than one study source.
