1.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete and full of errors, November 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Internet Information Server Training Kit (Academic Learning) (Paperback)

Full of errors, dry, and non-informative. Typical MS. Fancy box, good packaging and marketing, but not much on the inside.

The kit contains references to functions on various property sheets(which is basically how IIS is administered) that simply don't exist. Example: on p.114 it states that, "SSL can be set on the SMTP SITE property sheet when configuring SMPT on IIS". This is not included on that property sheet. How can such a basic error be made by the product's own vendor, who expects to test candidates on THEIR knowledge ?

Some of the practices do not work as shown. Example Chapter 14 using Site Server Express,(which is one of the most useful functions in IIS) The practices will not run as shown.

This is my 6th exam in the MCSE series, and hopefully the last time I use MS press for any kind of education within IT. Every kit within the MSCE series contains errors,typos,page duplication, incomplete guidance, and a superficial approach to instruction. Any approaches to MS press regarding this generates a pre-generated or formulated response.

In short: A poor, shoddy product rushed to the market. Like everything else MS

2.0 out of 5 stars GARBAGE, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Internet Information Server Training Kit (Academic Learning) (Paperback)

After a friend had studied this book, he advised me not to buy it, and to try some other. As I had purchased the 5 previous MOC books and passed all the exams, I wanted to see for myself how this book compared. Take my advice now and find some other book to study for the exam. This one is a big let down, confusing and a complete waste of time and money, and that's a fact.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not enough to pass the test, July 6, 2000

Wollyhood - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft Internet Information Server Training Kit (Academic Learning) (Paperback)

This book lacks some information (f.e: ODBC errors) to pass the IIS 4 exam

3.0 out of 5 stars This is not an MCSE exam guide...
Nor does it claim to be one. It does what is says it will do: Give a rookie a guide for setting up and running a vanilla install of IIS and Proxy server. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely Inadequate
This book doesn't even come close to covering the information on the exam. I relied on information from my instructor, class notes and Transcender exams to pass.

It's so badly organized it's sometimes painful to read. The book is rampant with non sequiturs, and when it talks high-end technology it ends up as repetitive nonsense. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the book to use as a Study Guide
You can't get much worst than this. Very brief explainations on how stuff works and what it is. Mentions topics that it takes for granted that you already know about IIS4. Read more
