I got my MCSE using all the books for this track from this series and between the main text, the lab and the CD it helped IMMENSELY!!!

I don't know why others gave less than stellar reviews, but all I can say is that it worked wonders for me.

I HIGHLY recommend it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Kind of boring....., May 5, 2009

By	Ever Learning (TX United States) - See all my reviews

Unless you are taking a class that actually uses this book, I'd shy away from it. I tried a couple of the chapter labs and it'd be really swell if they were in conjunction with the self-paced book; in one book you're doing a certain lab but in this one it's yet a different lab. Tends to be a bit confusing let alone you're loading up your home server network with more junk. After a couple of these I put it back on my bookshelf and just stuck with the MS hard cover self-paced book and came out ahead.

As Microsoft books like this go, this is a pretty ok book I guess. About average. My complaint would be with the labs. I think there should be much more to them personally. The book will go into so many topics, and then the lab will touch on maybe 2 of them, and you do not delve very deep into any of them. The labs are good starting points to be sure, but not real comprehensive learning tools in my opinion.
