This review is from: ALS Managing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Environment (Pro-Academic Learning) (Paperback)

In order for me to truly understand how things work I need to practice with a "hands-on" approach, that's why when I found this book I was pleasantly surprised at how many exercises there are included in both the book and lab manual.

The 840 page book has over 40 labs and the lab manual has another 20, giving you 60 plus labs to work with. One of the best things is the fact that since this a training kit you get to work at you own pace and go over the areas you are having trouble with until you become comfortable.

With a 120 day eval of Windows 2000 Advanced server you practice the setting up of a 2000 network, work on client/server techniques and skills, share resources, work with encryption and compression, deal with the NTFS5 file system, setup and troubleshoot active directory, set group policies, create and work with remote access.

There is also over 140 pages dealing with TCP/IP and the utilities as well as tips, tricks, screen shots and diagrams to better aide in the learning process. While made for the classroom, this book can also be used a self study guide. Overall everything seems to be included except the practice exams questions.
