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

By	John (North Carolin) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Additional Server 2003 Information, December 21, 2006

By	D. Kjornes (WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does not have the LabMentor Disk, August 28, 2007

By	Robert J. Boluyt "bateluer" (AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are buying this book for a Server 2003 class, be advised that it does not have the LabMentor disk or the passcodes required to log on to the Course LabMentor site.
