Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Even if you've gained a good deal of hands-on experience, you should still study if you expect to pass the Windows NT Server in the Enterprise exam (70-068). You may want a review guide like Exam Cram: NT Server 4 in the Enterprise to back up and solidify the knowledge. This book, like its popular series mates, provides an efficient way to review the facts and concepts you'll need to understand to pass this exam.

The authors begin their review with some fundamental concepts such as domains and the relationships among them, trusts, users, groups, and permissions. They then proceed to cover redundant array of independent disks (RAID) fault tolerance and directory replication.

Naturally, networking gets most of the review time. Exam Cram: NT Server 4 in the Enterprise pays attention to standard Windows NT local area network (LAN) protocols, plus dialup networking and the behavior of Windows NT on a heterogeneous network. Practice quizzes (with answers and explanations) conclude each chapter, and two practice tests (also with keys) appear at the back of the book.

There's no substantial difference in the content of the Adaptive Testing Edition of this guide and the contents of the older, nonadaptive edition. The adaptive test has fewer, more carefully targeted questions and different rules regarding time and the review of questions, but its technical content is the same as that of the standard test. --David Wall

This book allowed me to pass the exam the first time through. I have two years practical experience and this book pulled together the rest of the information I needed. Great book and well written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Review/Study Supplement for NT 4.0 Enterprise!, September 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSE NT Server 4 in the Enterprise Exam Cram Adaptive Testing Edition: Exam: 70-068 (Paperback)

Would highly recommend this book for your studies! For a small number of pages, there is a wealth of information condensed into a very readable format. It briefly touches upon the technology and then reinforces it with strong study questions. (Note: Questions are very similar to the Transcender exam) This book should be a supplement to your studies, not the main source of information.

I'm not sure where our one disgruntled reviewer is coming from but the certification process will always be flawed. Speaking as a Network professional with 5 years experience and two CNE certifications, certification will never take the place of real-life experience. However, it may be a measure of theoretical knowledge and initiative of the network professional who achieves them. I see certification as a supplement to my career, not what defines it. And yes, we are living in a capitalistic society, welcome to the United States!

This review is from: MCSE NT Server 4 in the Enterprise Exam Cram Adaptive Testing Edition: Exam: 70-068 (Paperback)

This book was a great review of material I had covered in several MCSE study guides. Particularly nice was the focus on what the test will actully cover, how to answer the questions and the nasty little tricks that MS throws into the mix. The value of the book was also increased by the three practice tests available from the web site. There were a few blatantly wrong answers to review and test questions that definitely need to be corrected though.
