3.0 out of 5 stars Not Quite Right, August 12, 2001

This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Network Security Design: Training Guide Exam 70-220 (with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

I read this book and took the Security Design exam and didn't have the best success. The case studies included in each chapter were very helpful for preparing for the exam, but the exam itself didn't seem to require the knowledge of such detailed technical information that is included in this book (although I still found much of the information useful). I wish that this book would have included more general concepts and ideas (from a Microsoft perspective) than it did. I did pass the exam with this book alone, but just barely, and I do have some experience with Windows 2000.

This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Network Security Design: Training Guide Exam 70-220 (with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

As a MCT I have found Roberta's book to be right on target. The 70-220 is not a normal Microsoft test. It along with the other design tests are of a very non traditional format. The design tests are more case study driven than the standard multiple choice tests. This book gives you many case studies for you to work with, which WILL help you when you go to take the test. I have read many of Roberta's security articles in MCP Magazine and value her opinions. This is a book about design and not about pure security. I lines up perfectly with all of the Microsoft objectives for the 70-220 test. It is a definite must read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Long hard slog for very little return, April 23, 2001

This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Network Security Design: Training Guide Exam 70-220 (with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

I found this book to be an extremely long and tortuous read. I am experienced in NT4. The author tells you that a particular chapter will be very similar to concepts found in NT4 but warns agains skipping the chapter. After reading it, I found it was a complete waste of my precious study time. Other chapters are spent on concepts found extensively in the 210, 215, and 216 material ( W/S ,Server, and NW INFR). Fair enough that this material should be rehashed as it may be present in the 220 exam, but to waste whole chapters on this basic material is criminal. Of the 900 odd pages I believe about 700 is fluff and 200 is good material. Don't waste your money like I did. Go and get the Windows 2000 Security little black book by Ian McLean, along with some other concise texts such as the ExamCram book.
