Windows 2000's purpose in life is to facilitate networking, with its various Server machines hosting community resources and its Professional boxes collaborating securely. If you're aiming to become a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), especially a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), you need to understand the material in MCSE: Windows 2000 Network Administration Study Guide. It's designed to help you prepare for the Implementing and Administering a Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure exam (70-216), and it succeeds at that. Perhaps more importantly, the book teaches the practical aspects of network construction and management in a Microsoft environment.

A typical section has to do with security for remote access services, beginning with what purpose the technologies serve, and all of the relevant pieces of the system--this is where all the acronyms get decoded. With the groundwork laid, you learn how to do the relevant hands-on work: there are explicit instructions for configuring callback and setting the number of failed login attempts that causes account lockout, among other tasks. Some tips and a chapter outline conclude the coverage, and an exam-like quiz (with annotated answers on separate pages) concludes each chapter. --David Wall

Topics covered: The material Microsoft says you need to understand in order to pass the Implementing and Administering a Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure exam (70-216), including domain names and their resolution with the Domain Name Service (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) setup and operation, remote access, routing, and security.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one!, September 7, 2000

By 

Steven Welch (Tempe, Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Network Administration Study Guide (Exam 70-216) (Book/CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

Excellent Study guide- if you're buying only one book for the 70-216 exam, this should be the one. I spent a week reading the book, and another 3-4 days on the CD . After this time, I was well prpeared for the exam. The book is extremely well done, and accurate. The one surprise I had coming was in regards to the CD. From past Study Guide purchases I was expecting a CD that was in the fair to Ok range. This one was really, really good. It has the entire Study Guide on it, which made it easy for me to carry to work- comes with video, audio tracks for the car, practice exam, etc. I was really happy with this book- my experience with this one made me pick up the Syngress Directory Services book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good core study guide!, August 30, 2001

This review is from: MCSE Windows 2000 Network Administration Study Guide (Exam 70-216) (Book/CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

This Syngess book was my core study guide and it covered about 90% of the topics on the exam which I passes with an 840. Unfortunatley no one book will cover everything except possibly for the 7000 page Server Resource Kit. I found it to be very accurate compared to the Sybex 70-216 2nd edition book. The core topics are covered very well - dns, wins, dhcp, ip addressing, nat/ics, vpn, ipsec, and rras. Certificate Services could have been more thorough and a more in depth explanation on cidr. The exam tips and two minute drills were very helpul in hammering home the important points and great for final study review. The overall layout of the book was excellent. The end of chapter questions for the most part were nothing like the real exam, so do not count on them to gauge your rediness for the real exam, but to be fair I have not found any book that has realistic exam type questions - the Sybex 70-216 2nd edition is close though. This Syngress book along with LOTS of hands on practice on a home network lab will help prepare you well for the exam. You will NOT be able to pass this exam by ANY book alone. I also recommend extensive use of the onboard help that comes with Windows 2000 - it is a wonderful resource. Also searching the Microsoft website for related articles (dns, dhcp, wins, rras, etc) for further study will serve you well. The Microsoft Readiness Reviews are a good companion practice exams that are similar to the real exam questions. The Syngress 70-216 book is a good choice for your main study guide.

To get a comprehensive understanding of Network activities in windows 2000 environment. It is very good for exam . It is useful for learning. Even good for on the job ref. As an Instructor , I have no doubt that this is a good book. Some topic need more labs and explanations . But it is still one of the best.
