5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book for Preparing for TCP/IP certification., July 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: McSe Study Guide: Tcp/Ip and Systems Management Server (Paperback)

When preparing for the TCP/IP exam, I read both Sybex, and New Riders books. The New Riders covered exactly what was on the exam. It was much more detailed and to-the-point. It really got down to the nitty-gritty "what you need to know". It is definitely worth the money!

4.0 out of 5 stars TCP/IP section is good, SMS REALLY DATED v1.0, September 24, 1997

This review is from: McSe Study Guide: Tcp/Ip and Systems Management Server (Paperback)

I used this exam to write the 2 MCSE electives and i scored pretty well. The SMS part is really old, MS is at 1.2 now, and thsi book covers 1.0. However, this book has just about the BEST and EASIEST to understand explination on how to do subnetting with subnet masks. It breaks down the TCP/IP address is great detail and its still easy to understand. This book is worth having alone just for it's Subnet mask explination and examples.

3.0 out of 5 stars Authors Know SMS well - needs to be redone for 1.2, November 10, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: McSe Study Guide: Tcp/Ip and Systems Management Server (Paperback)

I felt the book's content reflected a deep and practical knowledge of SMS on the part of the authors. This book is actually a very good overall planning guide for SMS. Most third party references focus on operations and gloss over site planning issues - yet these are the most important if you are consulting. The book definintely needs an update for SMS 1.2 and the SMS Installer. Success in the SMS test hinges on having a very unpractical level of knowledge of all the complex and interlocking SMS configuration requirements - "small" differences between 1.1 and 1.2 could mean failing the test. This is still the most effective reference for the 1.2 test if you cross-reference it with other resources (product manuals and classroom materials).
