Summary: Does What It Says
Review: This book is great for a review. It does what it says -- Exam Cram. This book is great as a review resource. No one should attempt to use this as a primary study guide. Then again, it isn't meant to be anything more than what it claims. This book can be helpful in preparing for the 210 Exam and I recommend it as a supplement to your study materials.

Summary: Excellent study aid for W2KPro
Review: This book is highly recommended when accompanied by other resources (Transcenders, lots of hands on, etc..) The topics covered in the book matched well with the topics given on the exam and definitely helped me to pass the first time. This book is worth adding to your study materials.

Summary: Great Book, I read it and passed with points to spare.
Review: Very inclusive book. It didn't cover the full breadth and depth of W2K Professional, but it was much more thorough than would be expected in a short test prep manual. It was well-written and concise. I read it. I passed. What more can you ask from an Exam Cram book?

Summary: Good book, but not for the new exams
Review: While this serires of books was excellant for the A-plus and Net-plus exams, and an invaluable aid for the Cisco CCNA exam, they have completely missed the mark for the W2K MSCE. I can only assume from the positive reviews I see here that those reviews were for the NT 4.0 version of this book or that MS had changed the W2K exam structure since this book was published. The book gives an excellant high level understanding of the subject and is a great desk reference, but the MS exam requires detailed knowledge to the command-option-switch level, and that sort of detail is sadly missing. The practice and sample exams within also concentrate in straight "how-to" or "why-do" type questions and answers and do not at all prepare one for the "mini-scenerio" question format MS has migrated to on all their exams.
The only W2K MCSE prep books I have seen so far (and I have looked at several) that actully contain all of the technical detail necessary for doing well on the exam is the MS press W2k MCSE prep guide (its boring and hard to stay awake using it, but all the info that might come up on the exam is definately in there). Unfortunately, this Exam Cram book falls far short of having the info needed.
