4.0 out of 5 stars Very well done, September 9, 2002

By 

Dan G. (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mike Meyers' MCSE Windows (r) 2000 Network Infrastructure Administration Certification Passport (Exam 70-216) (Paperback)

I highly recommend this book if it is used *only* to compliment some other, more in-depth, material. Prior to this book I had taken the 2153 class and had read the entire corresponding MOC book. This book did an outstanding job of nailing down the important points and clarifying the theories of the 70-216 exam topics. It is, however, not a replacement for an all encompassing 70-216 book, such as the MOC or Microsoft Press books, or perhaps one of the other various hardbacks available. This is extremely readable though, which is a welcome change from the incredibly unreadable MOC books. I got through this in a just a few days.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for any Windows 2000 Network Professional, May 23, 2002

This review is from: Mike Meyers' MCSE Windows (r) 2000 Network Infrastructure Administration Certification Passport (Exam 70-216) (Paperback)

Whether or not you are looking to be an MCSE 2000, this book is the best networking book I have read in a long time. Very clear and accurate. The style is easy to follow. And yes, it will help you do well on the actual test. Great job by the author!!! I will recommend anyone to buy it. On a general note, the student should have some familiarity with routing protocols and subnets before taking the exam. I did well in the actual test because I am a Cisco professional. My 2 cents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right on the money, November 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Mike Meyers' MCSE Windows (r) 2000 Network Infrastructure Administration Certification Passport (Exam 70-216) (Paperback)

Don't kid yourself if you've never touched the stuff, but this book makes an excellent compliment to any prep material you may have already used or own. Already having taken a basic networking class, for me this hammered down all the fundamentals including practical scenarios. The chapters on RRAS,VPN,& Certificates may prove troublesome for beginners, as it will be hard to visualize what is read without having any experience (classroom or otherwise). This book doubles as a concise reference, for those starting out. The only way you could possibly get more detail is if it came directly from Microsoft. This is good value for the price.
