 Absolute trash April 24, 2002
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book contains as many mistakes as the Windows 2000 Professional book written by these same useless Shinder clowns. After reading the first 3 chapters I realized I was wasting my time reading this muddled garbage and threw the book in the trash where it belongs. I have ordered the Microsoft Training Kit to study for the 70-215 exam. Most of this book is an exact copy of the Windows 2000 Professional book - they haven't even bothered to replace all the "Windows 2000 Professional" parts with "Windows 2000 Server" that they've copied.
 I liked it. April 17, 2002

This book covered a lot of information. I haven't taken the exam yet so I really can't say if the book helps in that perspective. I was able to follow a lot of the exercises. The book was written well in understandable terms and it is our text for a networking class at school. I would say that after reading this book I have a much better idea of what W2K server has to offer.
 Passed the test but not because of this book January 4, 2002

This book is very wordy and has several instances of inaccurate information and typo's that make for difficult reading. The test questions in the book and on the CD are mostly ambiguous and often don't give enough information to properly answer the questions. Although I did pass the test, it was mostly because of experience, not because I read this book.
Very Confusing Book December 24, 2001

After using a Cisco Press book to study for the CCNA exam, using this book to study for the 2K Server exam was a BIG disappointment. This book was not written by an author and it shows. It was mashed together using material from no less than 10 'contibutors' and some of them have very poor writing skills (which apparently the copy editors don't care to compensate for).The book starts out stating how important it is to know the 'why' as well as the 'what' due to the new format of the 2K exams, yet the book is filled with instances where a concept is introduced never to be explained (command-line switches, using CD-ROMs with RIS, etc., etc.). This tends to raise more questions than it answers and only confuses the reader. I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to correctly answer an exam question based on the way the information was presented in this book. The material on boot and system file locations was so confusing and poorly written that I e-mailed one of the editors for clarification. (They agreed with the concerns I expressed about the presentation of the material.) I've been working with 2K Server for about 6 months and have installed my share of servers so it's not like I'm not familier with the material. If it confuses me I pity those without much experience who try and use this book to pass the exam.
