 Didn't focus on how to apply knowledge September 18, 2000

These books are awful! I am a IS Manager for a school district and the typo's I found were frustrating. For example, I used it as a quick reference for the proper UNC path for user profiles. I kept racking my brain for two hours trying to figure out why it wasn't working. I finally realized that the path they had written down (\\server_name\winnt\profiles)(p.346 in NT server 4 book) was completely wrong!!! The proper path shopuld be \\server_name\profiles\username.Sorry, just venting. Buy the Exam crams if you want to be MCSE. I struggled with the Sybex books for 6 months. I bought the Exam Crams and passed all 6 exams in 5 months Jeff Tangen MCSE

But so far, I give the books 3 stars. I hope they will help me achieve my dream of being a blackjack wizard.

Obtuse, and wordy. Authors refuse to abbreviate "Windows NT" and use it repetitively as many as 5 to 10 times per page. The material is confusing. If you are new to the subject avoid this set. As one reviewer said they can spend half a page telling you how to get to the control panel, on the other hand they will frequently make reference to something with no indication at all where to find it. Most important while you may be able to derive the information needed for the exams, this set does little in the way of preparing you for them. It only gives very brief overviews of what is required. I find the New Riders to be very helpful others might be trancendors and exam cram.

These book only skim the surface of the details that you will see on the test. If all you want to do learn enough to JUST pass the exam, then these books are for you! On most of the tests, there are at least 3-5 questions covering material found no where in the book. Doesn't sound like much until you realize there are only 30 questions on the entire exam. I have passed all four exams at this point on the first try. To Summarize: Networking Essentials was a good book. Past that the rest of the books were crap. Most people I know use the Transender Practice Exams to supplement these poorly written books. It is amazing to see how much information these books do not cover. My advice would be to check out the books from Microsoft Press. Consider it an investment in your career. Also they cover the same material in three books.
It helped me get certified May 1, 2000

I used these to get certified and pass all my core requirements tests. They are usefull and you can have them for a great resource although they are a little basic, and they are only good for certification.
