Amazon.com Review
The Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) from Citrix Systems lets system administrators give users a way to access practically any Windows application over even the slowest network links. CCA: Citrix Certified Administrator for MetaFrame 1.8 Study Guide helps solidify your knowledge of Citrix technologies as you prepare for the Citrix Certified Administrator (CCA) exam (218). With lots of practice questions and carefully annotated answer keys, plus an exam simulator on CD-ROM, this book will help you fill in the gaps in your on-the-job knowledge and find out what to expect from the exam itself. A typical chapter opens with a discussion of a business goal, such as guaranteeing that users are unaware that certain applications that they use reside on a remote server. Terms and concepts that have to do with the Citrix way of achieving that goal are introduced then. Zooming closer to the mechanisms that provide the service, the book walks you through procedures and shows you aspects of the interface that you should see ("On the Job" tips are sometimes helpful, but sometimes too short to be of any use). Self-test material and bulleted key points for quick review are included. --David Wall Topics covered: Citrix Certified Administrator (CCA) exam (218) topics, including all aspects (short of those that might interest developers) of the Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) and the MetaFrame 1.8 distributed computing solution; system setup and administration, including Windows Terminal Server, load balancing, Citrix client software, and Web connectivity.

 Luck I know what i'm doing... May 24, 2002
This book was a horrible study guide. Although I passed the exam, there were plenty of discrepancies in the book, along with just plain wrong information. It's a good thing that I had been working on Citrix for some time before I took the test!
 Piece of Cake April 2, 2002

This is not a particularly difficult test. After reading this book, I took the Boson practice exams and then took the real test. I finished in 20 minutes with a score of 90%. This book has everything that you need to pass exam 218 -- it is complete and accurate as well as easy to read and understand. I doubt that I really even needed to take the time with the Boson tests, but if you want more experience with answering test questions, it is probably worth the extra [money] to get them.
 Good book November 13, 2001
This is a good book to study and learn about CITRIX. it is much more detail then anything that CITRIX has to offer. However don't rely on the questions in this book. They were not even close to the test that I took. If you study the material this book has to offer and undrestand it then it is a sure bet you will pass.
 Great for On The Job reference but doesn't cut it for Exam September 25, 2001
Just passed my exam with 88% and it wasn't because of this book. The book does a great job of explaining in detail about add-on products such as Unix Integration and IMS but only the basics are covered on the test. Oh, the first thing that you should do is throw away the CD. About 10% of the questions on the CD are inaccurate and copletely contradict the same questions in the book. Also two topics were not covered in the book such as domain trust relationships and profile/policies relationships which the exam spends quite a great deal on. Bottom line, if you want this for job reference get it, if you want to pass the exam get the Exam Cram series
Simply Put - Wonderful! June 21, 2001
This book is the holy grail of study guides for the CCA! I read the book cover-to-cover twice. I took the test a week later and passed with the highest score I have ever gotten on a certification! The information in this book is well presented. It is organized in a manner that allows you to apply what you read in previous chapters to the following ones. I found it sometimes hard to put down! If you want to pass the CCA, buy this book!
