5.0 out of 5 stars This book will help you pass the exam, November 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Windows Nt Server 4.0 Enterprise Exam Guide (Productivity Point Int) (Hardcover)

This is a good book. It contains a little more than you need to know to pass the exam. It can also be used by a novice who simply wants to learn NT. I would strongly recommend it if you can afford spending $70. One of the problems is multiple errors, although the errors are minor. The other problem is that the book is simply too big to carry around - it's over 1000 pages, of which only about 600 pages are useful text, and the rest are sample tests and appendixes. The chapter tests are good to help understand the material, but you won't see them on the actual exam. Another thing is that in addition to chapter test, there is also the self-assesment test and the mastery test, both of which simply repeat the capter questions in different order. They don't help much, and could have reduced the size of the book by at least 200 pages. I didn't find the CD useful at all. It should have contained the book's text, but it doesn't. All you will find is the chapter tests and 2 other tests (see above)in not very usable format. Finally, the publisher was in such a rush to release the book, that they missed the appendix that contains lab exercises. You will have to download it (along with errata) from Que's web site.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could do better, February 11, 1998

It is basically a good book, but getting it released has clearly been a rush job. There were many typing errors and even some of the diagrams were scrambled. To be honest its quite shocking that this ever got past any proof-reading procedures. On the positive side though, the book was easy to read and well presented and I would recommend it but for the price.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Book, but Contains ERRORS, December 3, 1997

At first I was impressed with the amount of information, but then horrified at the frequency and severity of documentation errors. On page 178 it even says you can create an Emergency Repair Disk by running "winnt /ox" which in reality creates Setup boot floppes (3 disk set). An Emergency Repair Disk is created by running "rdisk /s". In the sample questions on the CDs there are also errors similar to this, as the 'answer' contradicts information presented in the book. I was very disappointed having paid $70 for a book that contains such obvious errors. I would recommend the Microsoft materials over this, as well as reading through TechNet as it does NOT contain errors such as this. Also, On Page 93-94 of "Windows NT Server 4.0 Enterprise Exam Guide looks as though Figure 5.1 and Figure 5.2 are reversed. Figure 5.2 says it will be "efficient" when in fact every BDC for the network is on the wrong side of the 56k link. A minor error but still not acceptable.
