I found this book to be concise on the topics that it covered, but I also found that it didn't cover everything you needed. I also used Alan Carter's book with the Transcender exams. I took the adaptive version of the test and got an 816. Overall, I would recommend this as ONE of your study guides.

Just became an MCP, scored a 933. This book was of great help. It cuts out the fluff and gets straight to the point. This book is definitely a great learning tool. It covered just about every topic that was needed to pass the exam. I highly recommend it to everyone. I liked this book so much, after passing the exam, I went out and purchased the NT Workstation and NT Server Enterprise Test Success books. I also recommend using another book or two, perhaps ExamCram. I also used CICPrep and Transcenders practice exams. Good Luck...

Went for the Sever test full of way too much info from this book. I was so spread out as far as a focus on the test, that simple questions became hell with over analysing the situation (ie how to install a SCSI card which I have done hundreds of times, but got so concerned from this book that nothing was as easy as I thought it was). Use the Exam Prep book it is much better. Lisa puts way too much fluff in to her writing. She is very distracting with her focus.

I have read through a half dozen MCSE study guides for NT Server 4 while picking out a textbook for a network admin course I am teaching at our high school (a Microsoft AATP). I found the NT Server 4 installment of the MCSE Test Success series to be uneven in coverage, hastily put together, and in possession of some errors. The answers to the chapter tests included in the back of the book rarely provide an explanation of why a particular answer is correct/incorrect--this is inexcusable for a test prepartion publication.

If you plan on puchasing one book to prepare for Exam 70-67 MCP, I recommend Alan Carter's Windows NT 4.0 MCSE Study Guide (IDG) [outstanding but pricey] or Matthew Strebe's MCSE NT Server 4 Study Guide (2nd Ed.) (Sybex/Network Press). If you need a companion volume containing a summary of the material and additional questions, I would recommend MCSE TestPrep NT Server 4 (Que) or Exam Cram: NT Server 4 (Certification Press). Just say no to books hastily thrown together to milk the MCSE certification frenzy.

Great book...got all the stuff that u need for the Server exam...but a bit more work should have been done on Monitoring and Optimization. I sat for the exam today and passed it...all thanks to this book and the nt core technology notes! On to the Enterprise....fun...:-)

I read the Test Success book after reading the Study Guide and at first didn't think much of it in terms of the content, I wasn't sure that what was in the book was sufficient to really help me pass the Exam but as I soon found out (on my exam anyway) was that most of the questions on the exam were covered in the Test Success book (although I do recommend reading the Study guide first). Anyway, after reading the Test Success about a week before my exam, I managed to score a 963!

This book is an Excellent review source to pass the NT Server 4.0 exam. But you would still need other source of NT Server book to get more detail information for the exam. Would recommend to purchase. Worth the $$$.

With this book I was able to score 92 on the NT Server exam. This book covers the material you need to know for the exam and is a good reference book for general NT Server information.

Coupled with the Sybex Study Guide for NT Server 4 this book got me a 945 on my test. I have since bought the Test Success books for the rest of the Core tests and have been equally pleased with these as well.

This book was great. I took the test on Friday July 31st and scored a 927. I first read Sybex's NT Server Study Guide and then used this. I also took many practice exams to aid me in preparing for this test. This book is made for people that are experienced with NT. It provides objective overviews and many test questions. The practice questions are fill in the blank, making it more challenging and testing your "real" knowledge. After the practice questions it provides a sample test at the end of each objective. I liked the way this book was organized, and I also liked the things it had to say. Like any book, there were a few mistakes. These mistakes mainly consisted of typo's and nothing that would impair your knowledge. If you are looking for a book to sum up the objectives and provide many practice questions before you take the test, then this is for you!
