As an experienced MCT, and having taught from the MOC courseware, I can say that this book has some of the worst labs I've ever had the inopportunity to use. Especially the REGEDIT labs, where they had you looking for keys that didn't exist! (HKEY_LOCAL_COMPUTER?!? Come on!) There are a lot of end of chapter test questions that are answered in the Instructors Resource CD that are just plain wrong. Sometimes, there will be 21 answers given, but only be 20 questions in the text book! Also, the cover ripped off my copy in the first week I had it. So, use caution when using/teaching from this book. If the web site had a errata that was easy to locate, then I may be more forgiving, but it doesn't so I'm not!

This book and others in the same series,(Server, Enterprise,Essentials..) is the required text for my Network Tech. classes. We do the review questions after each chapter and have found that some answers were just plain wrong! NT has been around a few years now so there no reason why the editors should allow these faults to continue. This particular book was published in in 1998. The book refers to Windows 95, no mention of Win98 and Windows 2000 is refered to as Windows NT 5.0. They need to update this book and fix the errors!

Excellent book for the price! I used this book to pass my MCSE exam
