Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The new edition of the MCSE: Windows 2000 Server Study Guide is the ultimate study tool for exam 70-215, Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server. Working in conjunction with our team of expert authors, we've made significant enhancements to the study guide 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 Server 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 book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than any other guide, September 25, 2001

This review is from: MCSE: Windows 2000 Server Study Guide (2nd edition) (Hardcover)

First of all, let me make this clear. "You cannot pass the exam by just studying this guide".
But amongst all the other guides in the market, this guide by Sybex is the best.

Sybex products are the best, i have compared them many times with other publishers. Sybex always stands out.

I passed the exam (70-210) and (70-215) by using Sybex's guides together with Coriolis' Exam Crams and Braindumps. This is enough for anyone to pass the exam.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough to pass on its own, April 9, 2002

This review is from: MCSE: Windows 2000 Server Study Guide (2nd edition) (Hardcover)

Do not use this book as your only resource when studying for your exam. This is a great book for people have access to the software and 2 machines and no clue about windows 2k (LIKE ME) they will give you a basic understanding of administrative tasks
After reading this book then an MS Press book and a couple of online practice tests to measureup my skills and make sure I had the examessentials to pass I was able to pass the test.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference and study guide, April 24, 2002

By 

NORMAN H MCDONALD (West Chester, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MCSE: Windows 2000 Server Study Guide (2nd edition) (Hardcover)

No one book will ever be the "be all- end all" for exam preparation, but this book is one of the best references for ALL of the features and technical specs for Windows 2000 Server that I have seen. An easy read, and written in a very understandable and interesting style. The author clearly knows the product very well, and articulates and explains all of the concepts presented.

I gave this book five stars because it is much more that I expected from it. Concise, accurate and very well rounded.
