Rating:  Summary: Not bad but some things missing Review: This book series like always has a good hands on feature where you can do exercises and learn the material. However in this book they go a bit too far. They devote step by step exercises during the chapters and at the end of the chapters repeat some of them. A lot of material is irrelevant and they exclude important topics like GPO policies and active directory specifics which are needed for the w2k server environment. The questions and explanations at the end of the chapters are pretty good but the 50 or so questions on the Preplogic demo aren't that good. Overall it will help you pass but i had to do further research on some topics at microsoft.com.
Rating:  Summary: Did ANYONE proof read this? Review: You cannot say much bad things about the book. The book is packed with screenshots of Windows 2000 and I can read the book without turning on the computer at all. Also, the author has shown clearly the steps in performing an action and a screenshot and explanation for each step. The exam questions in the book are quite good and they summarise the important points that you should have learnt in a chapter. I have not taken the real exam yet, so I cannot tell whether the questions are up to par like the real exam.All in all, I am a happy customer. This time NewRiders has done a good job. Watch out, Sybex.
