Product Description

Written by the premier author in Windows administration, William Stanek, and addressing the needs of Windows 2003 administrators preparing for the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) exams, "MCSE Core Required Exams in a Nutshell" is invaluable. With the recent revisions of the MCSE exams including simulations, success is even more difficult. Not only does this book provide the resources administrators need to succeed on the exams, but to succeed in the real world as well. They can think of this book as the notes they would have highlighted and then recorded for every essential nugget of information related to the skills measured in Exams 70-290, 70-291, 70-293, and 70-294 (and by association Exams 70-292 and 70-296).

To begin with, "MCSE Core Required Exams in a Nutshell" allows readers to see all of the topics expected for mastery in each of the exams. Then, 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 70-290: Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment EXAM 70-291: Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure EXAM 70-293: Planning and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure EXAM 70-294: Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Infrastructure

Once they have completed the exams successfully, administrators will find the book to be a valuable reference to core Windows administration skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading for MCSA/MCSE, May 27, 2006
By Dale Wagner (Albuquerque, NM USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been an admin for 12 years but I don't have my MCSE. Something always comes up at work every time I try to take a class or prepare for the exam. This year I decided I decided to go for it and not let anything stop me. I looked at a bunch of certification books. Previously I borrowed a multibook set from a friend but just didn't like the format or materials. I found this book on just a few days ago while looking through the certification books in the stacks. I've had good luck with Stanek's other books, so I picked it up almost immediately. Plus it cost 1/4th what the boxed set cost and seemed to have as much useful materials.

I haven't read the book cover to cover yet, but I have read the EXAM 70-290 materials. I must say I'm impressed with the amount of information and useful details packed into the pages. (I've found the same to be true with other books by Stanek). The writing style is clear and concise, and I like how the author lays out a road map for becoming certified and taking the exams one by one. The book covers EXAM 70-290: Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment, EXAM 70-291: Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure, EXAM 70-293: Planning and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure, and EXAM 70-294: Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Infrastructure. Plus for those upgrading from Windows 2000 certification it provides a roadmap and callouts to point out the objectives for 70-292 and 70-296. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Well Written, June 4, 2006
By T. Brok (St. Paul, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This is an excellent reference. If you are studying to be an MCSA or MCSE certification , then this is the book you need. One thing I always loved about the author is that he delves into the technologies clearly and concisely and gives practical how-tos. Unlike some of the Microsoft materials out there, this book is actually readable and does not feel like a bland technical manual.

The book covers everything need for exams 70-290, 70-291, 70-293 and 70-294. And the difference between this book and other certification books out there is in the details. Stanek truly knows Windows and he knows what's on the exams and what is needed to prepare. The book as an excellent source for information even for those not studying for certification and I would suggest that all Network Administrators obtain a copy, no matter what you think your skill level is. It's very useful, and like all Stanek's books, straight to the point.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Training Resource!, July 28, 2006
By Tammy K. (South Holland, IL USA) - See all my reviews
William Stanek's MCSE Core Required Exams is the best training resource I've found for helping me to study for my exams. I swear this book packs in more than the 4 book set I bought previous to this (and stopped using in favor of this). In his pocket consultants, Stanek has proven he has a gift for getting to the point and being concise while at the same time being comprehensive. This book is not different. This is the single most useful training guide I've ever purchased. Excellent as a reference as well as a study guide. I can't recommend this highly enough. Every network administrator should own at least one copy of this book.
