Book Description

Publication Date: April 12, 2003 | ISBN-10: 0789728710 | ISBN-13: 978-0789728715

MCSE Windows 2000 Active Directory Services Infrastructure Exam Cram 2 (Exam 70-217) is the perfect study guide to help you pass one of the four core exams in Microsoft's Windows 2000 certification program. This certification exam measures the ability to install, configure, and troubleshoot the Windows 2000 Active Directory components, DNS for Active Directory, and Active Directory security solutions. In addition, this test measures the skills required to manage, monitor, and optimize the desktop environment by using Group Policy. This book is not intended to teach new material. Instead it assumes that you have a solid foundation of knowledge but can use a refresher on important concepts as well as a guide to exam topics and objectives. This book focuses exactly on what you need to pass the exam - it features test-taking strategies, time-saving study tips, and a special Cram Sheet that includes tips, acronyms, and memory joggers not available anywhere else. The series is supported online at several Web sites: examcram.com, informit.com, and cramsession.com.

The accompanying CD features PrepLogic™ Practice Tests, Preview Edition. This product includes one complete PrepLogic Practice Test with approximately the same number of questions found on the actual vendor exam. Each question contains full, detailed explanations of the correct and incorrect answers. The engine offers two study modes, Practice Test and Flash Review, full exam customization, and a detailed score report.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best study guides I've used, April 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Active Directory Services Infrastructure Exam Cram 2 (Exam 70-217) (Paperback)

I have studied for six Microsoft tests, reading between two and five books for each. Of all those books, this one was one of the most outstanding. This book made the difference for me in feeling unprepared for the test before I read it to scoring 800 two days after I finished it. Excellent, organized, detailed coverage. If you have a lot of hands on experience, this book is probably all you'll need. If, like me, you need additional study due to lack of experience, I'd recommend including some extra focus on DNS.

This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Active Directory Services Infrastructure Exam Cram 2 (Exam 70-217) (Paperback)

the Exam Cram books are great. I like the fact that they are a quicker read and really get to the point. Pay attention to the alerts - they accurately reflect points that came up on the exam. This book combined with testking's online practice exam (...) and I passed the test easily. Well, I studied my (...) off, but using these two resources I was well prepared.
