4 out of 5 stars Good but be sure to read a companion   August 2, 2008
Good book. Must say I really started to like Vista after reading all that it can do. Thumbs up.. Good prep for the 70-620 test. But be sure to read some other material and do the labs.

2 out of 5 stars You'll need a second opinion. . .   July 22, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've only read through 4 chapters so far and it's left me confused and aggravated because I'm reading things in the book that I think are wrong and have to take the time to research these inaccuracies online- and thats wasting my time and irritating. It's like going to a Doctor and not being able to trust his advice and needing a second opinion for everything.

Also, this book seems like a training manual to be a minimum wage tech for an electronics megastore as many of the scenarios place you in this less than admirable, albeit hypothetical, role. I'm not sure why the authors would choose to place their readers in such a role when the same duties are faced by experienced network administrators as well.

I bought this because there wasn't much out there covering the topic at the time. I don't know if it's the authors fault or perhaps MS Press forcing the book out before being thoroughly proofed, but I will definitely look for other options before I purchase another book by these "Three Amigos" of authoring again . . .




5 out of 5 stars A Good Gift   July 2, 2008

This book was purchased as a gift for my son, who is studying to take this exam. He said that it was "very good". So much for a young man's feedback.

This self-help book helped me a lot in preparing me for the MCITP exams. Having a busy time at work and no time at all to go to a learning partner, the book guided me through the learning objectives of the exam.


5 out of 5 stars Well written and concise   June 23, 2008

One of the better written MS Press books. Very clear and easy to understand, if you have a copy of Vista do the labs with it. The practice tests on the CD are close to the real thing so allot yourself time to do them. The test I took recently (and passed) had 8 Sims so be sure you can physically do a job at hand rather than "multiple-guess" the answers. Overall a good book for taking and passing your MCTS test.
