2.0 out of 5 stars Tons of fluff with no substance, February 7, 2000

By 

Gary (Seattle, WA.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: IIS 4.0 MCSE Study Guide (Hardcover)

This book will definitely not give you the "ultimate competitive edge"! One half of the book is basic and useless info on nt security and network config, in which everybody who reads this book should already have plenty of experience. The other half is a haphazard collection of advanced topics with no structure or organization, impossible to understand in the format presented. This book is a huge waste of time and money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Think of Something Else, June 13, 2000

This review is from: IIS 4.0 MCSE Study Guide (Hardcover)

This book is very incomplete: it contains no Index Server topics, no SQL Server integration, but has a lot of useless stuff. If you want to study for the exam, you'd better choose another study guide.

2.0 out of 5 stars Confusing Jumble, October 12, 1999

By 

karens (Boulder, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: IIS 4.0 MCSE Study Guide (Hardcover)

This book is the worst study guide I have encountered in my pursuit of the MSCE. I have 5 out of the 6 required certifications, and I realize now that the time I put into this book as an exam preparation has been mostly wasted. I will have to consult other books and learning materials to feel confident about taking the exam. I found it poorly organized, badly written, and lacking in clarity. It is not bad if you simply want a reference manual, but I would advise anyone who wants to pass the exam not to rely solely on this study guide as an educational resource. It is a waste of money.
