Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
If you're looking to pass Microsoft's Windows NT Workstation 4.0 exam (70-073) and ultimately get your certification as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), you probably want a book to help you review. Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Accelerated MCSE Study Guide provides the assistance you need. It's clear, concise, thorough, and well organized, and it will guide you to mastery of an increasingly popular client operating system.
Instead of review questions and experimental procedures, this book provides page after page of solid, well-organized facts. Beginning with a method for ascertaining the suitability of hardware for Windows NT deployment, the authors--both MCSEs--explore every aspect of the operating system, guided by Microsoft's stated exam goals. They expose the details of the file systems that Windows NT supports; show how to manage users, hardware, and software; and show how to integrate a computer into local and remote networks. Heterogeneous networks--NetWare networks especially--receive plenty of attention. The book also includes tuning and troubleshooting information, along with passages on designing system policies and maintaining security.
Particularly well-suited to fragmented study time (as if there were another kind), Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Accelerated MCSE Study Guide will serve MCSE candidates well. It will remain a relevant reference after the exam, too. --David Wall

3.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent for review only,
This review is from: Windows Nt 4.0 Workstation: Accelerated McSe Study Guide (Accelerated Mcse Study Guides) (Paperback)
I purchased this book solely for the ratings obtained from other readers and because I wanted a quick MCP. I must warn you: For my Networking Essentials test I used two study guides, each with sample questions at the end of each chapter and final sample tests to prepare for the real test. This method helped me pass on my first attempt with 900. For this test I tried taking the short path of cramming this study guide with all the information required to pass the test and it didn't work for me, period. I passed the test with 866 on my second attempt (the first was a 633, passing was 700), and I only passed because I reinforced in 3 days my weak spots using a borrowed Exam Prep study guide (which, by the way I found out later it had terrible reviews). It doesn't mean that this book is not worth it, on the contrary, this book is worth more than its price, but it is only a review book, you can not expect to obtain all the necessary tools for the real test with it (or any guide of this type)only. This book should be a supplement to a formal study guide or NT Administrator's book and you need to test yourself using one of those CD practice tests (like the Exam Prep or Sybex's). Excellent areas of this book: Test taking hints (specially for scenario questions), sources of information for the test, the "cram card at the end of the book", share and NTFS permissions (excellent), policies and profiles. Acceptable chapters: Troubleshooting, Users Weak chapters: Installation (the test requires more detailed knowledge here), Hardware configuration, RAS (the information was there but in an disorganized fashion, I got confused), Netware, It doesn't tell you which objectives are being covered (you don't know where to read to reinforce knowledge on a particular objective area) To all candidates: Being an MCP requires experience, total mastery of the Microsoft test objectives, a detailed study guide, practice tests and a review (cram) guide. This book is an excellent review (cram) guide only. Out of the possible five stars, one star was taken for claiming to be the only tool for passing (read the back cover of the book section here in Amazon), the other for the weak areas for the real test.

This review is from: Windows Nt 4.0 Workstation: Accelerated McSe Study Guide (Accelerated Mcse Study Guides) (Paperback)
I loved the way the book was written and the subjects were laid out in a easy to read, easy to understand format. I passed the test on the first attempt thanks to the book...

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.
