2.0 out of 5 stars Who do they get to write these things?, May 30, 1998

I only made it through the first two chapters before returning this book. The writers may have their MCSE's, but they sure don't have a sound, fundamental understanding of networking. I've been doing this for twelve years and the text, as far as I read it, had plenty of inconsistencies. I must conclude that at least the individual(s) responsible for the first 2 chapters don't have much real-world experience. Are you interested in just passing the exams and being a "paper-MCSE" or being valuable to a real employer? If the former, then you'll be happy with this work. If the latter, then get the books from IDG.

1.0 out of 5 stars a completely irresponsible publication, February 11, 2000

This review is from: MCSE Windows NT Server 4.0 Study Guide (Exam 70-67) (Hardcover)

You'd expect a book that sells itself specifically as an exam prep book to present information accurately. Unfortunately, this book is so full of inaccuracies and missing information that it's hard to imagine anyone successfully passing the exam based on the information in this book. One example: chapter 2 mentions hashing, and explains that it's used on FAT partitions, but doesn't describe the hashing algorithm. In the chapter summary, they say to expect a couple of hashing questions on the exam. In the review questions, they ask you to hash five file names, and when you turn to the answers in the back of the book, ALL FIVE are done wrong! A breathtaking example of ineptitude! On and on it rambles, with useless diagrams, missing information, skipping over important concepts and emphasizing unimportant ones. On the plus side, it's well written, and easy to follow. This is a book that cries for a proof-reader.

This review is from: MCSE Windows NT Server 4.0 Study Guide (Exam 70-67) (Hardcover)

Ever bought study guides or "Unleashed" type books and found them to just meander through topics, with lots of pages wasted on topics you know that YOU shouldn't be wasting your time on? Well, I have seen or bought far too many of them before buying this one from Amazon.com. Every page counted, and no space was wasted. I was extremely pleased with it's excellent organization, readability, balance, and, of course, content. Scored an 833, and the questions I missed were covered in the book -- I just, uh, forgot them. There are a few small errors in the book, but when you start spotting them, you'll know you're getting ready to pass an exam. In addition to preparing me for the certification exam, troubleshooting information contained in the book has saved my 11-person IT staff hundreds of hours administrating an NT network with 400 workstations. If there's any question in your mind as to which book to buy first to pass the NT Server exam, consider it answered. Spend any extra money on Exam Cram, and you WILL be a Microsoft Certified Professional. Good luck!
