This review is from: MCSE: Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and Network Infrastructure Design Study Guide (70-297) (Paperback)

This is a good book, it will get you studying in the right direction. The contents do cover what you will expect in the 70-297 test however I strongly suggest that in addition to this book you use an online test preparation tool (I used Self Test). You will need the practice when facing the verbose (-vv) questions on the test.

So after using this book, Self Test software and lots of studying I squeaked by on my first try!

This review is from: MCSE: Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and Network Infrastructure Design Study Guide (70-297) (Paperback)

This book was excellent in preparing for the 70-297 exam. Each chapter introduces new concepts, and builds upon the previous chapters in a very logical and easy to understand method. There are many real world examples, and great practice questions for review after each chapter. The CD included with the book has excellent additional materials as well. I would purchase more books from Brad Price and Sybex for my future study needs! A+ all around.

This review is from: MCSE: Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and Network Infrastructure Design Study Guide (70-297) (Paperback)

I bought this book after failing the first time and also used PrepLogic software but failed. The book helps somewhy but doesn't really go far enough for the needs of the exam.
