2.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time., May 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSE Training Guide (70-227): Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000 (Hardcover)

I read this book and the Syngress book. This book has many typos, at least one of which could confuse the reader, it is very poorly organized, and it doesn't cover many details needed for the test. I was unimpressed with this book. I felt like I had wasted my money. The Syngress book was a little better.

2.0 out of 5 stars MCSE Training Guide - Poor Step by Step Examples, August 20, 2001

Russell Kirkwood, Creating Genius, Inc. (Bellerose, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MCSE Training Guide (70-227): Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000 (Hardcover)

Not impressed. I understand Firewalls very well and some people may even refer to me as an expert. I hoped to learn about ISA by Step by Step examples. Unfortunately this book lacks well explained examples, descriptions and details. I needed to configure ISA to publish (and protect) my internal web sites but found only one poorly explained Step by Step Example on this subject. The example referred to other Step by Step examples which I found to be very confusing. I do not recommend this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for exam prepping- this bk leaves out the middle ground, August 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSE Training Guide (70-227): Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000 (Hardcover)

As with a lot of books this book does a great job of getting you familiar with the basics. It is very well written. However, it doesn't bridge the gap, which is true with a lot of books, between being simple and adequately preparing for the exam.
