5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, thorough coverage of Windows Server 2003, October 16, 2005

This review is from: MCSE Windows Server 2003 Boxed Set (Exams 70-290, 70-291, 70-2293, 70-294) (Paperback)

Many of the preparatory textbooks available for the 70-29x Windows Server 2003 exams are simply not thorough enough to completely prepare you for these exams. Notably, Microsoft's own series is quite terse when verbosity would have been in order.

McGraw-Hill's 70-29x series continue their tradition of thorough treatments of topics. I especially like their system of describing and explaining a technology or a subsystem first, and then describing its practical implementation. Although some background with Windows is necessary, and even a bit of background info on the material covered in the exam is quite useful, this book can be used to put together most of the picture of Server 2003.

If you're looking for just one box set, pick this one over Sybex's or Microsoft's. You'll be glad you did.
