Que has done it again   November 10, 2003

Very comprehensive   January 10, 2003

I especially like that in addition to giving the correct answer to review questions, the authors also explain why the other answers aren't correct. It helped me understand the correct answer so much better! I've looked for this and no one else does it! It's probably the biggest reason why I chose this one over all others.


Covers the objectives plus some!   November 2, 2002

This is an awesome book for those with some Windows 2000 experience, but not a lot. Not only are all of the objectives covered in good detail, in many places the book steps back and gives you all of the background information that is left out of the objectives. Use this to pass the exam and as a reference as well. Very well done with no noticable errors or other problems, looks like Que has hit the nail on the head with this one.

In a sea of Microsoft Exam titles, this one stands out. After receiving this publication and reading it, I was amazed at how big the book was! It was good though because it made sure you were properly prepared for this exam. Good work on this book. You will be prepared for the exam with this one.


Needs some updating, overall it is useful.   August 14, 2002

As I upgrade my network to Windows 2000 there are so many things I have to plan for as well as so many things to look out for when the upgrades and migration take place. What I found is that this book gives me a fairly comprehensive look into the issues and things to do and not do.

I found after reviewing the book that the book goes beyond the 70-218 MCSA exam objectives and the layout and organization of the book is excellent. There are numerous tips, tricks, notes and warnings throughout the book as well as real life case studies along with over 150 step by step hands on exercises, not including those at the end of each chapter.

Also each chapter has review and exam questions and the book has a 60 question final exam. There didn't seem to be any standout errors either grammar or technical. Also include was a cd with Exam Gear Software with over 150 practice questions, for the money I think you have been provided with more.

Overall a few minor improvements and this book would be the best on the market.
