Customer Reviews & Comments
I've been an admin for 12 years but I don't have my MCSE. Something always comes up at work every time I try to take a class or prepare for the exam. This year I decided I decided to go for it and not let anything stop me. I looked at a bunch of certification books. Previously I borrowed a multibook set from a friend but just didn't like the format or materials. I found this book on just a few days ago while looking through the certification books in the stacks. I've had good luck with Stanek's other books, so I picked it up almost immediately. Plus it cost 1/4th what the boxed set cost and seemed to have as much useful materials. I haven't read the book cover to cover yet, but I have read the EXAM 70-290 materials. I must say I'm impressed with the amount of information and useful details packed into the pages. (I've found the same to be true with other books by Stanek). The writing style is clear and concise, and I like how the author lays out a road map for becoming certified and taking the exams one by one. The book covers EXAM 70-290: Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment, EXAM 70-291: Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure, EXAM 70-293: Planning and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure, and EXAM 70-294: Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Infrastructure. Plus for those upgrading from Windows 2000 certification it provides a roadmap and callouts to point out the objectives for 70-292 and 70-296. Highly recommended.
