5.0 out of 5 stars Passed the 76-210 REFRESH Win2k Exam with this book!, May 31, 2003

By	Randall J. Hughes "Native Technology Consultants" (Pine Ridge, SD United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very good book. Easy to work with just one computer with this book. I passed the 76-210 REFRESH Win2K Exam with this book and the Exam Cram2 Windows 2000 Professional book.

I followed almost all of the labs in this book on one computer. Great labs. Didn't notice any big errors in this book. Saw some earlier concerns about the Index of this book. I just followed the chapters cover-to-cover and the test was a breeze. I think there might be some "sour grapes" about not passing the test and blaming the book. I never even looked at the index to see if there were errors
I passed the 4-hour, 76-210 Refresh Win2k Exam with this book in less than 3 hours. I would strongly consider this book if you are on a budget, have one computer, and want to pass the Exam. Plus there is a 15% off the Exam coupon in the back.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a start, August 9, 2003

By	"notdeadrapper" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

I could fill a book with what is not explained or is surfed over in this book. You probably should buy it, but look for supplementary material. I used this book in a class structure. But had to buy two other books to get a well rounded picture of the Windows 2000 client O/S.
In case you are wondering, I took and passed the big test. Further, I still use this book as a reference, but only for general information. For detail, I use "another book" by a famous author of Windows 2000 books. This does not bode well for the content of this book. But without the structure of this book; don't risk your hard earned bucks seeking Microsoft's blessing.
