5.0 out of 5 stars All You Need, October 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Server for Dummies (with CD-ROM) (Paperback)

The For Dummies approach is just what is needed for a Certification prep text. Why read thousands of pages of poorly written, documentation-like, fluff when you can read a much smaller and simpler approach to the topic.

This book gets you ready for the exam quickly and efficiently. It also reduces your need for expensive practice exams as the book is LOADED with practice questions. I can't wait for the rest of the series to be released in the For Dummies format.

Also, note the LOW price for everything you get here!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast review - tons of questions, September 23, 2000

This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Server for Dummies (with CD-ROM) (Paperback)

I used this book, along with a few of the other W2K Server study guides to get ready for the test. Don't be fooled, the new W2K exams are difficult, but I found this book very helpful to get information quickly - and the hundreds of review questions are worth the price alone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointed about the cd, July 1, 2001

By 

Guy Defryn - See all my reviews

This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Server for Dummies (with CD-ROM) (Paperback)

When I start preparing for a MS exam I always buy a Dummies book. I used the For Dummies when I did the 70-098 and 70-210 exams so I bought this title without looking at the reviews.

This book by itself would not have given me a passing score. There is nothing about Active Directory or Group policies in this book and I had quite a few questions on the exam about these subjects. The book did give me some good info and is good to start of with.

Biggest dissapointment is the cd. Almost an exact copy of the 70-210 cd with a few extra questions. It hardly had questions related on the book.

I just bought 70-216 and 70-217 from the dummies series because I think they deliver superb reading material.
