Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The new edition of the MCSE: Windows 2000 Professional Study Guide is the ultimate study tool for exam 70-210, Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional. Working in conjunction with our team of expert authors, we've made significant enhancements to the study guide based on reader and instructor feedback gathered over the past year.

So what's new? We've replaced virtually all of the review and bonus exam questions with more challenging questions that better reflect the difficulty of the actual tests; we've added Real World Scenarios to provide additional insights into the intricacies of implementing Windows 2000 Professional in enterprise networks; and we've added Exam Essentials sections to each chapter, where key exam topics are highlighted. All this in addition to general improvements to the overall instructional quality of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best study guides. New edition adds better questions., August 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSA/MCSE:Windows 2000 Professional Study Guide (2nd Ed) (Hardcover)

Working with several different study guides in our training center, we've concluded that the Sybex series of study guides is the best on the market. Some students complained that the first editions didn't have adequate questions. Sybex made some big changes for this edition and now the questions pretty much hit the mark. This book has many such questions, including an adaptive exam and select and place questions, and it has Palm OS flashcards which are also a good way to quickly brush up on the details you need to know for the exam. The CD also contains WinSims, as Sybex calls them. They are basically step-by-step videos (avi files) of how to do the exercises in the book, with a few interactive examples thrown in (we use these as supplements to our classroom instruction, suggesting that students review certain videos on topics we don't have time to cover.) The videos are a great way to actually see what the exercises explain. Like any book dealing with the new MCSE track, you can't just read the text and pass the exam. That just doesn't work any more (back to reality, folks.) Students have to put in their time working with Win2k (although working on the WinSims is a realistic substitute for many things.) Overall, excellent set of books, and definitely much better than the MSPress books and, as a whole package, better than Osbourne's.

4.0 out of 5 stars MCSE Windows 2000 Professional - Study Guide (70-210), January 27, 2002

Good book. However, the questions in this book are much easier than the actual exam questions. I read this book with the corresponding Exam Cram book and passed the exam on the first try. I also used many of the online practice tests available.

Don't plan on passing the exam using this book alone. Study from other sources too!

This review is from: MCSA/MCSE:Windows 2000 Professional Study Guide (2nd Ed) (Hardcover)

I decided to become an mcse, so i bought the core four set from sybex. I read this book and went for the test. I can say it it was enough to pass. The book is well organized and included a lot of helpful tips. The only problem was that some functions like the "winnt" wasn't detailed. My advice is to buy this book, but to be on the safe side read it along with the w2k server before passing the test. GOOD LUCK !!!
