Product Review
Every modern organization shares data among its computer users and almost always via a local area network (LAN), so people who know how LANs work are in hot demand. If you want to break into networking, getting certified will prove your skills, so you might want to take the Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) exam in Networking Essentials (70-058). MCSE Training Kit: Networking Essentials Plus shows you what's on the exam and how to pass it. Supplement your study with some hands-on experimentation and you'll be ready. (This book also helps you prepare for the CompTIA Network+ exam, which covers much the same material.)
The book is organized around brief lessons, each of which deals with a particular set of facts you have to know for the test. The lessons themselves are mostly prose, though conceptual diagrams and screen shots help drive some points home. Each lesson concludes with a summary of key points, and practice questions appear frequently. (Answers to the questions are listed, without comment, in an appendix.) Exercises, discussed a bit in the same appendix, direct you through useful hands-on practice. The companion CD-ROM contains a multimedia training guide too. --David Wall
Topics covered: All published objectives of the Microsoft Networking Essentials exam (70-058), including key local area network (LAN) terminology, the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model, cabling, hubs, network interface cards (NICs), protocols, administration procedures, and troubleshooting.
Customer Reviews & Comments
Microsoft has a reputation for producing some of the toughest exams going. CompTIA has a reputation for producing tough exams as well, so which one is better? Microsoft Press has combined the two and given you a training kit that will enable you to pass both exams. This 650 plus page book is broken down into chapters covering Intro to networking, media, architecture, operating systems, standards and others. Each chapter is broken down into lessons about the chapters with a lesson summary and chapter review. There is also a cd included that has demos that correspond with different sections that need to be played when the book instructs you to. Each chapter has exercises and review questions and the cd includes the entire book electronically. Understanding that both Microsoft Networking Essentials and CompTIA's Network+ are very important, it is great to know that now there is a way to pass both exams in one shot. Overall the price of the book definitely outweighs the cost of not passing the exam.
