Amazon.com Review
Rumor has it that after Windows 98, Microsoft will make Windows NT Workstation its mass-market operating system. This possibility makes documented expertise in NT Workstation all the more valuable, and the best way to prove your knowledge of this operating system and its related technologies is to become an MCSE. This book helps you master NT Workstation and pass the portion of the MCSE Core Four (70-73) on this topic.Guided all the way by a handy fold-out table that correlates exam objectives with particular chapters, this book covers everything on the NT Workstation exam. The authors open with planning suggestions, including ideas for preparing an unattended installation on many networked computers. The two NT file systems are compared, and the authors go into depth on configuring hardware to work with NT Workstation--which is important, because unskilled users work with NT Workstation and it does not support Plug and Play. Applications get cursory coverage, including a laughably brief introduction to DCOM. Appropriately, networking with NT gets lots of coverage. Chapters explain the mechanics of setting up groups and permissions. Microsoft networks and TCP/IP networks get a fair amount of ink, but the coverage of integrating NT machines with legacy Novell NetWare is inadequate. A companion CD-ROM holds good-quality practice-quiz software (though questions often are repeated) from Productivity Point International, a training company.

 Editorial Genius February 22, 2001
This book is a triumph and was invaluable to me. Obviously well crafted and superbly done, it is clear, concise, and 'user-friendly'. I am not familiar with Dunigan's previous editorial efforts, but I will be anxiously awaiting future works.
 This book is a bad nightmare... December 23, 1999
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is absolutely the worst technical book I have ever read. Too many typos to recollect. They rushed this book to press to make a buck - I paid the price in $ and misery wading through all of its errors. What was really bad was all the instances where the authors did not know what they were writing about - not just typos, they had no clue what they were writing about. Tim Crouthers and Luther Stanton are two authors that I will definately stay away from now on. Live and learn. It's very difficult to study for a test relying on a source that provides no confidence. A happy note - when I realized I had been taken, I redoubled my efforts and passed Workstation. Of course, I attribute my success to the Microsoft Press books I purchased, not this rag. Bad call New Riders.
WARNING STAY AWAY May 12, 1999

This book was actually a hinderance to gaining an MCP qualification. I could not find one chapter that did not have an error within the questions. Loosely phrased and actual wrong answers, riddled throughout. The only help this book would be is to know the subject and spot the mistakes. Useless. Quite scary really that people make money from this,. requires a thourogh profreading. Stay away
 Good Starting Point February 3, 1999
Using this book, I was able to find the areas that I was weak in. I then was able to concentrate on these spots more thoroughly. I then took the practice exam on the accompanying CD to finish off my preparation.
First review NOT for this book! February 2, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My review that appears at the beginning was NOT submitted for this book! It was submitted some time ago for an earlier New Riders NT Workstation book ISBN 1-56205-769-3. My review (and possibly that of the others) was apparently migrated from that book (I thought it was unusual that this recently-released book already had five reviews).
