3.0 out of 5 stars CMIT, January 11, 2001

By	Carlos Bott (APO, AE United States) - See all my reviews

I teach in the CMIT (Academic MSCE) program for the University of Maryland, and this particular book is not of the same quality as the NT4 Series (ExamPrep). I gave up assigning the end-of-chapter questions as in-class quizzes as many of the answers (provided on the instructor CD) were vague and/ or confusing.

I had to fall back often on the offical MS Press text or technet for complete answers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT Buy This Book, October 13, 2000

By	Craig William Dayton - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Is the book itself written well? Well, yes. Why then do I give this a "do not buy"? The reason is simple. Those of us who are professionals and are trying to gather study material to get us through the new hurdle that Microsoft has thrown at us, namely getting recertified before our NT 4.0 certification runs out, need what I will call a complete study guide....you know, one with the answers provided. When I wrote to the publisher, asking why the answers were not provided, I was told that it was being used as a text book in schools. Thank you very much, and I wish you (publisher) all the luck in the world with the kiddies in school, but for me, this book is useless. If you are a professional and not a kid in school, save your money. Do NOT buy this book! Amazon has plenty of great books that you can purchase, but this is not one of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Text for Windows 2000 Professional, August 20, 2000

By	Ron Carswell (San Antonio, Tx USA) - See all my reviews

I used this text and the MCSE Guide to Microsoft Windows 2000 Server for the Install 2000 Professional/Server course this summer at a local community college. The text is well written and strives to match Microsoft's MCSE Exam for Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional. The extensive hands-on projects provided practice skills for my students. As an instructor, I appreciated the extensive course materials (chapter outlines, PowerPoint presentations, test generators).

I would recommend that prospective test takers purchase a practice test. Perhaps the TestOut LabSim (Windows 2000 Professional Lab Simulator) and practice test.
