This book if full of valuable network information - almost none of which is asked by the exam questions. This is more than a little shocking since this is a Microsoft Press book, since MS press editions are usually competently written exam guides. However, the actual test, four long and complex case studies from which you must pick out network design factors based on hints in interviews, existing designs, network diagrams and future plans, has little in common with the content presented by this guide.

This book summarizes everything you need to know about setting up a Windows 2000 network, but doesn't say a thing about WHY to choose one type of design over another. Much of the exam is about choosing between alternative design factors, which this MS book does not mention one word of. It has hundreds of sub-topics entitled "making the decision" but those are in fact nothing but re-statements of the technical content and are not about decision making at all. It is highly unlike that anyone could pass the exam using this book, it is merely a summarization of the topics covered in the "core four" 70-210 through 70-217 MS exam guides.

This is the seond place for the most MCSE test..Number one is 70-216...Network infrastructure........The elective part studying material is so boring. I recommend my students to practice a lot on this...+ Transcender+ Troytec and Test-out!
