How long does it take to complete the MCSE certification exams? How many tests are required? How do I get a better score? Find answers to these burning questions and more with the IIS 4.0: Accelerated MCSE Study Guide. Designed as a portable companion for those who've had formal, hands-on training, this guide explains the MCSE certification process in depth, prepares you for the test-taking experience, and gives you tips on maximizing your score. For example, readers are advised to focus carefully on scenario questions to decipher the best answer and not to spend too much time writing down memorized facts during the exam.

This book doesn't offer different flavors of test questions and outlines but rather includes a short list of review questions at the end of each chapter--a good feature for readers who are confidently absorbing the material. Unlike many other guides, this one is not organized according to the structure of the 70-087 exam. Instead, it uses its own topical breakdown: installation; management tools; the WWW, FTP, SMTP, and NNTP services; security; SSL; Index Server; and Site Server Express. Advanced issues such as Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and database connectivity are also addressed.

This compact book lacks a comprehensive test examination, and while it is a useful resource for quick reference and last-minute cramming, it's not an end-all training tool. --Stephen W. Plain

2.0 out of 5 stars Poorly organized, found other sources, March 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Accelerated MCSE Study Guide IIS 4.0 (Exam 70-087) (Paperback)

I feel this book has most of the information, but it was very cluttered and difficult to follow. This was not a very impressive resource. I used the Sybex book, which has a lot of basic garbage, but had the info I needed in an easy to follow format. I suggest checking out the New Riders Fast Track books for a condensed guide, as they are the best.

3.0 out of 5 stars Best book out there, but not enough for exam., March 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Accelerated MCSE Study Guide IIS 4.0 (Exam 70-087) (Paperback)

I do recommend this book; but just to learn iis 4, not to pass the exam. This exam is the most difficult of the six. Get this book to give you an overview of iis. Get the braindumps to pass the exam.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too much cut out of this pocket guide., March 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Accelerated MCSE Study Guide IIS 4.0 (Exam 70-087) (Paperback)

This book would make an excellent IIS quick reference, but lacks some key elements to deserve its MCSE name. Having finished my MCSE, I am accustomed to these types of books having bullet points for the major items of interest (aka two minute drills), summaries of the chapter to drive home material, and a few sample questions. This is not a MCSE book.
