4.0 out of 5 stars
Really good prep book,
By Dan (Elmhurst, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Directory Services Exam Cram (Exam: 70-217) (Paperback)
I felt this book did a very good job describing Active Directory. The book was very readable while presenting most of the information needed to pass the exam. You definately want to supplement the DNS section of this book to pass the test though. The test goes into depth on DNS that this book just doesn't touch. Also, the practice questions aren't that good. Overall, I don't know if this book would be good for a beginner, but if you're upgrading your MCSE I'd use this book and the Transcender and ace the exam. I passed with plenty to spare.

Good Book!,
By Chris Purcell (Sarasota, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Directory Services Exam Cram (Exam: 70-217) (Paperback)
This was my 22nd exam that I've taken and I've used the Exam Prep/Exam Cram books for over half of them. I would say that this was one of the better ones that I've read. The book covered all the topics and gave procedures on how to do things for a couple of key concepts that you need to know. This is something that the other Exam Crams usually lack. I would highly recommend this book to someone who is already familiar with AD and Win2K.

Not enough to pass the exam,
By Atlanta Network Guy (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Directory Services Exam Cram (Exam: 70-217) (Paperback)
While this series of books was excellant for the A-plus and Net-plus exams, and an invaluable aid for the Cisco CCNA exam, they have completely missed the mark for the W2K MSCE. I can only assume from the positive reviews I see here that those reviews were for the NT 4.0 version of this book or that MS had changed the W2K exam structure since this book was published. The book gives an excellant high level understanding of the subject and is a great desk reference, but the MS exam requires detailed knowledge to the command-option-switch level, and that sort of detail is sadly missing. The practice and sample exams within also concentrate in straight "how-to" or "why-do" type questions and answers and do not at all prepare one for the "mini-scenerio" question format MS has migrated to on all their exams.The only W2K MCSE prep books I have seen so far (and I have looked at several) that actully contain all of the technical detail necessary for doing well on the exam is the MS press W2k MCSE prep guide (its boring and hard to stay awake using it, but all the info that might come up on the exam is definately in there). Unfortunately, this Exam Cram book falls far short of having the info needed.
