Book Description

0596102291 978-0596102296 November 1, 2006 1

For Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 administrators preparing for Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) core exam 70-270, and core exams 70-297, and 70-298, this book is invaluable. Not only does it provide the resources you need to succeed on the exams, but to succeed in the real world as well. Think of this book as the notes you would have taken if you were to capture every essential nugget of information related to the skills measured in the core elective exams.

To begin with, MCSE Core Elective Exams in a Nutshell allows you to see all of the topics expected for mastery in each of the exams. Each exam is covered in three parts: Exam Overview, Study Guide and Test Your Knowledge sections. This makes for easy reference and a great study aid.



The Exams covered include:

  • EXAM 70-270: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Professional
  • EXAM 70-297: Designing a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and Network Infrastructure
  • EXAM 70-298: Designing Security for a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network


Once you have completed the exams successfully, you will find the book to be a valuable reference to core Windows administration and security skills. This book uses the same successful format found in MCSE Core Required Exams in a Nutshell by William Stanek, and together they satisfy all of the Core exam requirements for your MCSE certification.

2.0 out of 5 stars There are better uses of your time, February 19, 2009
This review is from: MCSE Core Elective Exams in a Nutshell: Covers exams 70-270, 70-297, and 70-298 (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly)) (Paperback)
No offense to the authors, but this book was not specific enough to help pass any of the MCSE exams, even in a nutshell. I suppose the title should tip you off that reading this book is not going to prepare a beginner for a successful exam. I am a certified MCSE for 2003 and can speak from experience. You would be wise to find in-depth video training, like TestOut, and then get a reference manual. The book does not touch on everything that you need to know for these exams, but spins out very unfocused tool paths and poor communication of the principal concepts. It's really hard to read this book!
