This review is from: MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-622): Supporting and Troubleshooting Applications on a Windows Vista Client for Enterprise Support Technicians (Self-Paced Training Kits) (Hardcover)

This book prepares you verry well for the exam. Its not a big book but its very concice and lets you practice most of the topics you read. The requirements to study for this book are to have a few virtual machines to setup up a local network with a server which has some server roles and few clients. Thats cool because in that way you practice like in the enterprise enviroment. The exercises are very well explained with just a few typos so far. I recomend to create vista virtual machines without sp1 cuz it uninstall the gpmc.msc console that you need to make some exercises. Overall its a very nice book to study, grab it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good job despite the negative I've seen here, August 30, 2008

I just passed my test in the high 800's using this book- I'd venture to say it is important to do the labs and use any on-line references you can to help you; I use CompTIA's IT Pro 24x7 book library myself for additional studies. Overall MS press does a good job, it is expected I think to do the labs and practice tests is you want to succeed. A good background in Vista would be most beneficial as well to gather a thorough understanding of hwo it works and why.

The book in my opinion does not adequately prepare you to pass the 70-622 exam. The book is at times very confusing and full of typos. Many of the examples are written with the assumption that the reader has advanced knowledge of server concepts and does not mention this. After taking the exam, I can honestly say that the book covered about half of the questions presented during the exam. In order to pass the exam you must study additional materials in conjunction with this book.
