5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely what you need to pass the exam..., October 29, 2007

By	Tom Carpenter "- www.sysedco.com" (Marysville, OH) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This book will give you all the information you need to pass exam 70-623. Actually, it will give you way more than that. I passed the exam easily and was even involved in an automobile accident on my way to the testing center. This shook-up West Virginian still passed the test. That gives a lot of credibility to this book. As a note to Microsoft, though they may never read this review, the exam was way too easy to be at the MCITP level. This should be an MCTS exam at best. All an easy exam like this does is make the other valid MCITP exams (like those for SQL Server, Windows Server 2008 [soon], and Windows Vista in the Enterprise) look bad.

In order to pass this exam, you will need to be able to troubleshoot the basic problems that a home user would experience. If you keep this in mind while you're reading the book and preparing for the exam, you'll do very well on the exam.

After you read through the book, take the practice exam on the CD. As you are going through the exam and thinking how easy it is, keep in mind that the exam is almost that easy too. If you know what's in this book, you will definitely pass the exam.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not As Comprehensive As IT Should Be, February 17, 2009

This book is a good foundational title, but another book would be a good idea to cover all of its weak areas.
