Server+ Certification for Dummies

Rating:
Summary: Needs an overhaul!
Review: Best used as a starter or final prep but needs somthing more heavyweight for the exam.

Rating:
Summary: Several content errors found.
Review: I will also add that I emailed BOTH Ron Gilster AND the dummies press asking if any erratta was posted, and as of today, 2 months later, I have received NO REPLY from either party. This is most unfortunate considering that the book is well written, catchy, and makes a very dry subject a lot more interesting. So shame on the technical editors.

Rating:
Summary: Great starter book for Server+
Review: Not a bad book but it just skims the surface on the topics present on the exam. Anybody who is going to take the Server+ exam make sure you get one of the larger study guides as well to get a more in-depth view of the topics that are on the exam. This book is more like an overview.

Summary: Great starter book for Server+
Review: Ron Gilster and Mike Glencross have come up with an easy to read book with a little humor spread throughout with that Dummies aplomb. I found myself reading quickly through this book. This is not as meaty as some of the other Server+ books, but it does touch on all the exam objectives. My suggestion would be to use this book in conjunction with one of the other thicker books such as the Server+ Bible for more in-depth look for certain topics. The RAID and SCSI chapters were good and I also enjoyed the chapter review questions. However, the included CD with the Dummies book has many identical questions as the Server+ Bible CD and this may be due to them being published by the Hungry Minds.
