Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
The new edition of the MCSE: Windows 2000 Core Requirements box set is the ultimate study tool for the four core exams in the Windows 2000 MCSE track. Working in conjunction with our team of expert authors, we've made significant enhancements to the study guides based on reader and instructor feedback gathered over the past year.
So what's new? We've replaced virtually all of the review and bonus exam questions with more challenging questions that better reflect the difficulty of the actual tests; we've added Real World Scenarios to provide additional insights into the intricacies of implementing Windows 2000 technologies in enterprise networks; and we've added Exam Essentials sections to each chapter, where key exam topics are highlighted. All this in addition to general improvements to the overall instructional quality of the books.
And exclusive to this 2nd edition box set, Sybex is including a free "Windows 2000 4-in-1 Core Requirements Exam Notes" book, a $29.99 value! Organized by the official exam objectives, this quick review guide is the perfect way to reinforce knowledge and identify weak spots before you take the exams. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Sybex is still the best. New edition adds better questions.,
By A Customer
This review is from: MCSE: Windows 2000 Core Requirements (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
Working with several different study guides in our training center, we've concluded that the Sybex series of study guides is the best on the market. Some students complained that the first editions didn't have adequate questions. Sybex made some big changes for this edition and now the questions pretty much hit the mark. This book has many such questions, including an adaptive exam and select and place questions, and it has Palm OS flashcards which are also a good way to quickly brush up on the details you need to know for the exam. The CD also contains WinSims, as Sybex calls them. They are basically step-by-step videos (avi files) of how to do the exercises in the book, with a few interactive examples thrown in (we use these as supplements to our classroom instruction, suggesting that students review certain videos on topics we don't have time to cover.) The videos are a great way to actually see what the exercises explain. Like any book dealing with the new MCSE track, you can't just read the text and pass the exam. That just doesn't work any more (back to reality, folks.) Students have to put in their time working with Win2k (although working on the WinSims is a realistic substitute for many things.) Overall, excellent set of books, and definitely much better than the MSPress books and, as a whole package, better than Osbourne's.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Improved,
By A Customer
This review is from: MCSE: Windows 2000 Core Requirements (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
While I would hesitate to say that the first editions of these books stunk, Sybex really stepped it up with the second editions. I had a chance to look at the first editions, and decided to go with another book (which was not very helpful). As an MCSE in NT 4, I have the basic understanding and experience needed to pass these exams. But unfortunately, I have test anxiety. The review questions in these books were extremely helpful, as well as challenging. They gave me an idea of what to expect when I was ready for the test. I used the Net Infrastructure and Directory Services books to prepare for the exams, and I passed. In addition, the real world examples and Exam Essentials section helped me gleen from the text what was very important.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Just so-so,
By A Customer
This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Core Requirements (4-Volume Boxed Set With CD-ROMs) (Hardcover)
These books are good if you are a beginner in the field. Reads well. But being an MCSE/MCT for years, the book is basic. Some facts have been omitted. Plus I have found misleading info in the text and errors in the test answers to name a few. I started to circle mistakes and I realized that I am proofreading a book that I spent $105 dollars on.A person relying solely on the book to pass the tests is just asking for trouble.
