1.0 out of 5 stars New content, February 22, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-646): Windows Server Administration (Hardcover)
This edition is useless for the new 70-646 exam. Microsoft Training and Certification has already stated that the second edition with the new content is due out July of 2011; although, they are currently testing using the 2008R2 content. Do not waste your money. I've tested twice using this self study including a completely different set of questions from MeasureUp and have failed the test twice. I have scored average 95% for ten certification modes on this book and the MeasureUp tests.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as you can ask for !, July 27, 2009

This review is from: MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-646): Windows Server Administration (Hardcover)
I just passed the 70-646 exam with an 875, so that should tell you something about this kit. First of all, you have to not only study the book, but use all the included resources - questions at the end of the chapter, the practice labs (I used a virtual server), and of course the practice tests on the CD. There's no substitute for hands-on training. Reading this book alone doesn't guarantee a pass, nor should it. You have to use the product, understand the concepts, and shore up the weak areas you'll discover when you do the practice tests.

There is some material in the book that's a little overkill. For example, there wasn't one question on the exam about IPv6, even though the chapter on this goes into a lot of detail. There also wasn't much on the exam about the appplications within IIS. I didn't mind though. since my next exam WILL cover these. Learning more is always a good thing.

All in all, this is a pretty thoroughly written book for the exam objectives. I've gone though a couple dozen certification books over the years (including others by Ian and Orin), and this one rises to the top as one of the better ones.

Thanks for the pass guys!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written for net admins, November 17, 2008
By 
This review is from: MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-646): Windows Server Administration (Hardcover)
This text is well written. However, it is written for an experienced network administrator. The author freely admits that he is only covering the new features of 2008 server; therefore, although this is a good book, it is not for the beginning student.
