5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource!!!   August 1, 2008
This book is an excellent resource to assist in preparing for test 70-640. Well written and very understandable. Delievery of the product was also great, and actually MUCH faster than I had anticipated.

The copy of the book I received on July 2nd does not include evaluation of windows 2008. Could be downloaded but not included on the ~50mb CD. CD has 295+ study questions and an ebook.


4 out of 5 stars Proofreading Wanted!   June 14, 2008
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I recently recieved this Microsoft Press training Kit for Exam: 70-640,
MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-640): Configuring Windows Server 2008 Active Directory

After reading through its over 860 pages of information, I was equiped to pass the Certification Exam. Although it is an excellent tool for preparing for the test, there are quite a few errors in the text. The book seemed rushed, as if the writers were trying to meet a deadline. There are many references to outside sources for concept understanding throughout the book. Some of the answers in the back do not match the questions in the lessons from each chapter. A few mispelled/misplaced words, and some information, such as on Page 280 which states that you can troubleshoot RSoP with Gpupdate.exe is just not correct. The statement should say Gpresult.exe instead. Nothing that a little more proofreading would not have solved.

All in all, the book was easy to grasp. I was happy overall with the content supplied by the curriculum. Once the errors are resolved, I feel that this will be an excellent source for 70-640 enthusiast.
