3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but that's about it, January 30, 2007

This review is from: 70-290: MCSE Guide to Managing a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment, Enhanced (Paperback)

I read this book all the way through, did all the problems that I actually had answers for, and, if not for Transcender's exam questions, there is no doubt that I would have failed the 70-290 exam. This book provides questions at the end of each chapter for you to review what you just learned, sadly though, the answers are in the teacher's edition, which you just don't have access to. The section "What You Really Need to Know" does provide answers to the questions, but, some of the answers are wrong, which drove me nuts. As a reference book, this one is great, but as a test prep book, I would have to say find another one. I cannot recommend it for the actual exam.

This review is from: 70-290: MCSE Guide to Managing a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment, Enhanced (Paperback)

This text is a great initial or supplement to additional texts about Windows Server 2003. The various discussions and hands-on sections at the end of each chapter enhance understanding about the Windows Server network operating system. Clearly conceived and well done. More concise than the first version.

I ordered 5 books at the same time, from different sellers. This one came first in about 3 business days on an expedited order, so I would have to say they are fast. They were faster than a shipper that was 3 hours away from my house. I will order from them again.
