4.0 out of 5 stars
good for an exam, but not necessarily for a first encounter, May 20, 2005
This review is from: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Exam 70-293 (Windows Server 2003 Certification Series) (Paperback)
The authors offer this as a way of understanding how to design and run a network of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 machines. Some of the text pertains to any current Microsoft operating system. More broadly, some lessons can be applied across any choice of operating system. Like that on planning Internet connectivity.
The book is aimed at both those who want to learn about such networks and those who want to pass an MCSE exam. But realistically, most readers will or should fall into the second group. For you, the book should be a good fit. While the authors say that the layout is oriented around skills rather than MCSE domains, there is still a strong focus on delivering what you need to pass the exam.
The layout is good for review. With usually a page of text on a topic and an adjoining page of screen captures. But it can seem occasionally confining, if you had hoped for a lengthier discussion of some topics. The format is too restrictive for a first time encounter of its subjects.
