2.0 out of 5 stars Good general information,but not for the test, October 31, 1999

By A Customer

I used this book and MCSE:Fast Track, both highly rated, plus the Transcenders, to study for this exam and none of these came even close to what's in the test. I studied well for this and passed 5 tests previously, first try. This book is far removed from the scope of the test. I gave 2 stars because I think it is good for general information and will work well for reference, but don't rely on it for the test. There's nothing about ODBC errors and minimal about SMTP and NNTP configuration. It tells how to set up virtual directories and webs and so on, but leaves terminology unexplained. I learned too late that it is not extensive enough, even with the other 2 study materials, to pass this test. Not even Transcenders helped for this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good buy, but some errors..., September 22, 1999

By	D. Young (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The errors annoyed me. Since they were only in the answers to sample questions section, they were somewhat harmless. But I wish they had edited the book more thoroughly. One other compaint I have is that there is quite a bit of repeated information. Hey man, just because it's the dummies, I don't need to hear the information 10x. For those of you who like getting spoon-fed information with humor and lots of repetition to ensure your understanding of the material, this is the book. For the unpatient who want concise information just to pass the exam, I recommend something else. I'm not sorry that I got the book, but I somewhat wish that I had gotten something else. Besides, this is one of the easier exams.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo!, September 10, 1999

By	T. Evans "Minority Opinion" (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In my opinion there aren't a lot of well-written Study Guides available for IIS-4 at this time. This is one of them. Mr. Isiminger's writing style actually makes this book a pleasure to read. The two sample tests (with complete explanations) at the end of the book provide an excellent review of the material.
