I just finished writing a review of Iseminger's "Ace It!" for the IIS 4.0 exam, and see no reason to repeat that here -- because they are just about the same book. Certain chapters read exactly the same.

Not a knock on the book, because it does a good job of covering IIS 4.0 basics. It does not include essential ODBC error information, though. The questions in the Ace It! book do a better job of testing your understanding, in my opinion, but you can't go wrong with either. Just don't buy both!

I am a big fan of the other MCSE "dummies", books. This one is good, although it is not quite up to the standards of some of the others. It needs to be augmented with another study guide. Given the price of transcender tests, it is probably worth the $25 for the practice CD alone, but the book has some shortcomings. For example, the book has only a page or two on troubleshooting database problems and ODBC driver errors, but I saw no less than 7 or 8 troubleshooting questions relating to database connectivity on the test. I recommend the book, but I wouldn't expect to pass the test using this as my only study guide.
