There is only one way to say this: This book was awesome!!! The authors target what you should know and what to watch for on the exam. I have tried various other books on the MCSE subjects and have found the Accelerated MCSE study guides to be the best. I read the entire book in two days and passed the exam the next day. The book places all its emphasis on what you need and should know, not only to pass the exam, but to be a succesful MCSE. I am recommending the entire set of these books to my friends and colleagues. Simply stated, Accelerated MCSE study Guides are your one stop shop for success. Don't get lost in all the fancy wording the other books hit you with, read something you can read! Trust me, once you pick it up, you won't wamt to put it down. Once I read this book, everything made sense.

I have found the same consistency of quality in this book as I discovered in Patrick Neal's Windows 98:Exam 70-098, in the same series. As an MCT, I am recommending this series to my classes.

This book lives up to all its good reviews. Guarantee yourself a better grade by using it. It is exactly what it says, a "Study Guide". Although you may pass the exam with just this book, I recommend learning the material in a lengthier manner. Either take the instructor-led courses or buy the Microsoft training kits (I bought the kits), and then read this book just before you take the exam, using it as a "Study Guide". I passed the exam by a wide margin on my first attempt.

Kinnaman has written truly great books that will prepare you for the MCSE exams, but this book IS A VIRTUAL COPY OF THE ENTERPRISE BOOK. Kinnaman tries to cover this up by adding a phrase here and there to sentences, but the book is essentially the same. This begs the question, are the Server and the Server in the Enterprise exams so similar that one can write the same book as a study guide for both? The reason I gave this book one star, even though it may sufficiently prepare you for the Server exam, is that I think either Kinnaman or the publisher (or both) was (were) dishonest in not coming out with a Server/Enterprise combination book, that simply included the few chapters that don't appear in both books into one study guide. He (They) are trying to rip you off.

PS: Can someone write another review that lists the chapters that differ between the Server and the Server in the Enterprise books?

If you want to pass the MCP on NT Server 4.0, I highly recommend this book to you.

I bought this book after reading Patrick Neal's Windows 98:Exam 70-098, which is excellent. This book, although co-written by Neal, still excels at several of the key elements found in Neal's book. Namely, it's accurate and well-written. I'd recommend it to anyone preparing for the MCSE.

In general, this book makes an excellent supplement to the Windows NT Server Resource Kit when preparing for the exams. The clarity that I found in Neal's Windows 98 book is also noticable here. For a quick read and review, this book can't be beat.
