5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book for 70-222, April 28, 2001

This review is from: MCSE: Windows 2000 Migration Study Guide Exam 70-222 (With CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

I used both this book and the Syngress book to get ready for the 70-222 exam. I found this one to be far superior, and would highly recommend it. Author Todd Phillips is one of the best technical writers I've come across -- he gives good explanations without becoming too bogged down in meaningless detail, is well-organized, and covers all the bases. And he writes clearly (no re-reading paragraphs umpteen times to figure out what he means!). The end-of-chapter review questions are somewhat superficial and don't go nearly as in-depth as what you'll find on the exam, but they do serve as a good refresher at the end to make sure you're familiar with all the main points. If you're planning to take 70-222, I'd urge you to get this book first.

This review is from: MCSE: Windows 2000 Migration Study Guide Exam 70-222 (With CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

I passed exam 70-222 by using this book and the Domain Migration Cookbook....

Every Chapter is detailed extremely well, but the end of chapter questions are NOTHING like the exam.

This book is great, but in order to earn 5 stars I would like to see the cd include a more accurate depiction of the actual MS test.

I was blown away by Case Studies! The case studies in this book are child-like compared to the real deal.

I've passed all of my MCSE tests with Sybex, but they need to upgrade their testing software to keep themselves above the pack...

Hope this helps.

This review is from: MCSE: Windows 2000 Migration Study Guide Exam 70-222 (With CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

If someone was only looking for a guide to introduce them to the correct ways of migrating from NT to 2000, and their main goal was not taking the Microsoft Exam, then this would be a great title. The author does a good job walking you thought the general terms and concepts, planning, pre-migration preparation work, how to migrate and troubleshooting techniques. It's like a step one in a five step process.

The title, however, serves only as a secondary tool for studying the 70-222 exam. The Microsoft exam is very exacting. There are precise guidelines and rules to follow for any of the three types of migrations you can do. Unfortunately, the author quite often conveys information which contains his personal opinion on the way it should be done, or leaves you with a hazy feeling of `well, which way is it supposed to be done?' Many parts of the book are a little bloated in that the concept for the whole chapter really could have been summed up in a paragraph while still conveying the information correctly. Looking back over the book post-exam, I notice that many heavily tested on components are either not mentioned, or so briefly as to not supply the information needed.

In summary, it's a good introductory title for users wanting to know how to migrate their networks and worth the read. For test preparation, the reading should be in conjunction with Microsoft's Domain Migration Cookbook white paper and the help file for the Active Directory Migration Tool.
