This review is from: 70-291: Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure Package (Microsoft Official Academic Course Series) (Paperback)

Got my book and the book was for one exam, 70-291 and the cds in the book which you need for the course were for exam 70-299. Went through 3 books all with the same issue. No resolution was found other than trying another book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Text Okay, Included CD wrong, February 19, 2009

This review is from: 70-291: Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure Package (Microsoft Official Academic Course Series) (Paperback)

The textbook itself was in fine condition, as was the lab book. But the Student CD included in the back of the book had the wrong contents. The cd was labeled correctly, but instead of having information about 70-291 (Server Infrastructure) it had 70-299 (Server Security?) contents. This may not be a big deal for everyone, but I found it's absence disappointing. This is the third book I've purchased in this series and, in the previous two, I made good use of the textbook's PDF version that was included on the Student CD. (I plugged it into my text-to-speech software.) The disc also has Powerpoint slides for each chapter. Not having this convenience isn't the end of the world, but after spending $100+, I expected to get the whole kit and kaboodle!!! Fortuneately, I found a copy of the cd from one of my fellow students who bought an old, beat up, used copy of the book. Hmmmmmmm. Something to consider next time..............

This review is from: 70-291: Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure Package (Microsoft Official Academic Course Series) (Paperback)

I took an "Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure" Microsoft Official Academic Ciriculum class at my local community college, and we used this book as the text book for the class, which is what the book was written for. It was a very effective book, and for me personally, the class was a success. I learned a great deal about the material, and was ready to start studying for the certification test. This book was never meant to be a certification test preparation tool, although it certainly covers much of the material for the 70-291 test. The inclusion of "(Microsoft Official Academic Course Series)" at the end of the title of the book tells the whole tale. In my opinion, the book is well written, and inclusive of the material for both the course and the certification test. If you are only looking for a test prep book, you should look elsewhere. If you want a book to learn the material, both theory and practical implementation, that the test covers, this book will do quite nicely. I am sorry that one of the other reviewers didn't think that it was a good book, as it looks like he was looking for a test prep book.
