Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Rumor has it that after Windows 98, Microsoft will make Windows NT Workstation its mass-market operating system. This possibility makes documented expertise in NT Workstation all the more valuable, and the best way to prove your knowledge of this operating system and its related technologies is to become an MCSE. This book helps you master NT Workstation and pass the portion of the MCSE Core Four (70-73) on this topic.
Guided all the way by a handy fold-out table that correlates exam objectives with particular chapters, this book covers everything on the NT Workstation exam. The authors open with planning suggestions, including ideas for preparing an unattended installation on many networked computers. The two NT file systems are compared, and the authors go into depth on configuring hardware to work with NT Workstation--which is important, because unskilled users work with NT Workstation and it does not support Plug and Play. Applications get cursory coverage, including a laughably brief introduction to DCOM.
Appropriately, networking with NT gets lots of coverage. Chapters explain the mechanics of setting up groups and permissions. Microsoft networks and TCP/IP networks get a fair amount of ink, but the coverage of integrating NT machines with legacy Novell NetWare is inadequate. A companion CD-ROM holds good-quality practice-quiz software (though questions often are repeated) from Productivity Point International, a training company. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars
This book is a bad nightmare...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Testprep McSe: Windows Nt Workstation 4 (Testprep Series) (Textbook Binding)
This book is absolutely the worst technical book I have ever read. Too many typos to recollect. They rushed this book to press to make a buck - I paid the price in $ and misery wading through all of its errors. What was really bad was all the instances where the authors did not know what they were writing about - not just typos, they had no clue what they were writing about. Tim Crouthers and Luther Stanton are two authors that I will definately stay away from now on. Live and learn. It's very difficult to study for a test relying on a source that provides no confidence. A happy note - when I realized I had been taken, I redoubled my efforts and passed Workstation. Of course, I attribute my success to the Microsoft Press books I purchased, not this rag. Bad call New Riders.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Good coverage of the material but terribly flawed.,
By A Customer
This review is from: MCSE TestPrep: Windows NT Workstation 4 (Covers Exam #70-073) (Paperback)
This book appears to have gone to publishing without ever having been proof-read. The material that the authors cover is fairly well organized, however there are numerous errors in the text. At times the authors contradict themselves, and at least 20 of the practice questions give an obviously wrong answer. There are also instances in the book where editing comments remain. On page 290 for example, there is a line reading "???Is it System Event Log (as above) or System Log (as below)?" - obviously a line that was not supposed to appear in the final text. Even the inside cover is in error - it lists 10 steps for passing the NT Server exam (not the NT Workstation exam). Overall, I don't think this book does a adequate job of preparing someone for the exam.

WARNING STAY AWAY,
By A Customer
This review is from: Testprep McSe: Windows Nt Workstation 4 (Testprep Series) (Textbook Binding)
This book was actually a hinderance to gaining an MCP qualification. I could not find one chapter that did not have an error within the questions. Loosely phrased and actual wrong answers, riddled throughout. The only help this book would be is to know the subject and spot the mistakes. Useless. Quite scary really that people make money from this,. requires a thourogh profreading. Stay away
