Summary: Too little
Review: Appears to be simply a compilation from other books - and unfortunately not very useful at that. A total waste of money.

Summary: Makes a nice addtion to other study materials you have.
Review: You work with Windows 2000 both the server and professional in your job and you need to be able to configure, administrate and troubleshoot. You are looking for study material for those exams in one place and the material must have hands-on labs. Where do you go to get this, well Prentice Hall may have your answer in the book and lab manual set. While the book is not specifically written for any either the 70-210 or 70-215 exams, it does give you information and material on both. It also has material for the 70-26 and 70-215 exams as well. The book starts off with the overview of Windows, from 3.X to 2000 Advanced Server. From there you are installing, customizing, managing and administrating both the Professional and server. File Sharing, Group policy, data storage, disaster recovery, troubleshooting and security round out the text. Written with great detail, I found the manual to be easy to follow and understand. I also found the step by step exercises in the book to be very helpful as well. One thing I really liked was that both review and test questions are included in each chapter. The lab manual has over 35 labs, as with other books in this series, I again think this should be incorporated into the manual. The labs are both excellent tools for learning as well as helpful for every day network involvement. There is also a cd included with practice questions for both the 210 and 215 exams and overall this is a good study tool in the self study arena or in the classroom environment.
