Customer Reviews & Comments
I have two years experience managing SBS servers and I wanted to get a cert for it. I ran through this book in about 2 days, cover to cover. I usually take a couple weeks minimum to get through a Microsoft cert book. It was pretty straightforward and clear. I would recommend it to anyone who works with SBS. It is not overly technical, and in the beginning it has some very good, straight-forward explanations of technical topics like RAID, DNS and Active Directory.
The included CD with test questions only had an image on it. I had to copy off the image and then burn it to another disk, which was somewhat irritating. But the software works on Win7.
I have not taken the test yet but plan to soon. I would still recommend getting some additional tests or dumps as I have never found the Microsoft software alone to have prepared me for one of their tests.
