Book Description

1932266577 978-1932266573 November 18, 2003 1
MCSE Exam 70-296 Study Guide & DVD Training System: Planning, Implementing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Environment for an MCSE Certified on Windows 2000 is a one-of-a-kind integration of text, DVD-quality instructor led training, and Web-based exam simulation and remediation. This system gives you 100% coverage of the official Microsoft 70-296 exam objectives plus test preparation software for the edge you need to pass the exam on your first try.

In June, 2003 Microsoft will launch beta exams for the Windows Server 2003 certification line. Exams will likely go live the following August and September. This launch is a comprehensive revamping of the MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Enginner) track with all new core exams and all new electives. In addition, the MCSA (Microsoft Certified System Administrator) certification will expand its program to include an additional upgrade exam for MCSAs wanting to become MCSEs.

The launch of this new certification track means that all current MCSEs, representing an installed base of approximately 200,000 (source: MCP Magazine) will need to recertify under Windows Server 2003. In addition, any MCP looking to become an MCSE--estimates are about 1.2 million (source: MCP Magazine)--will also have to continue their certifications under the new program.

Many industry experts expect the Windows 2003 certification, and product line as well, to be a more popular track since many organziations are still using NT and plan to skip 2000 and go directly to 2003.

5.0 out of 5 stars On my way to my MCSE 2003!, January 8, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: MCSE Exam 70-296 Study Guide and DVD Training System: Planning, Implementing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Environment for a MCSE Certified on Windows 2000 (Hardcover)
I used this book along with some hands-on experience with Windows 2003 and was able to pass the test after about two weeks. This rating is based solely on the book material, as I did not use the DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, coverage of materials, November 17, 2003

This review is from: MCSE Exam 70-296 Study Guide and DVD Training System: Planning, Implementing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Environment for a MCSE Certified on Windows 2000 (Hardcover)
I have been studying for this exam for over a month now using various sources, but this book brought everything together in a clear and concise manner. Unfortunately, some of the chapters are a bit lengthy and could have been seperated for easier retention, and the DVD was "ok". Other than that, it did a great job of preparing me for the exam.

4.0 out of 5 stars Goog Book but Sometimes VERY Dry, September 30, 2004
This review is from: MCSE Exam 70-296 Study Guide and DVD Training System: Planning, Implementing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Environment for a MCSE Certified on Windows 2000 (Hardcover)
One thing is for sure about this book... Some of the chapters are (1) VERY dry, (2) have looooong run-on sentences and (3) at times are quite difficult to figure out their logic/order. Chapter 2, for example, took me nearly a week to pick apart the run-on sentences, eliminate the 'garbage', piece together the 'meat' and then try to make sense of what was being said. It was painfully dull! Some of the other chapters, too, were about as exciting as reading a dictionary.

I haven't taken the test just yet, but I did find this book to be quite nice. Explanations are very good and overall, it's organized quite well. I'll post more after I take the test!
