5.0 out of 5 stars Just Passed, February 22, 2007

By	Jeffrey D. Whiting (Alexandria, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought the book and went through it in just over a week. The text did a great job breaking down the exam into sections and giving you the key information with regards to that section. I would not suggest this book to someone with little or no server experience because it does not go into great detail about any one topic, however if you've been working in a Server 2003 environment for a while and are used to using and administering DHCP, DNS, RRAS, and IPSec than this book is great for learning the intricacies that Microsoft asks on the test. The exam questions offered in this book are by no means brain dump questions but they did a great job covering everything I saw on the exam today and then some. The only thing it doesn't give you is practice with the simulations but I guess that's the whole point of the sims.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Exam Cram Quality, March 5, 2008

By	Guy Montag - See all my reviews

This book is a solid entry into the Exam Cram series. Good, concise information with just enough info needed. There are some printing errors in the sample quizzes that omit complete multiple choice answers in some cases, which should have been caught in the proof process. I used this plus a CBT and passed the exam.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not sufficient enough alone., December 5, 2007

By	Andrew Karns (Goose Creek, South Carolina United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used this book and read it cover to cover. I got to the point where I was able to answer all practice exam questions correctly and even took the measure up test and scored a 98% on that. Then I took the REAL exam and found that this book did not prepare me well enough. Almost, but not quite. I scored a 551, just shy of the 700 I needed to pass. If you are thinking about using this book, it is good enough to teach you enough to know what Microsoft is talking about in the questions on the real test, but it will not teach you exactly what the right answer is. I felt that it was not in depth enough...no examples didn't help matters much. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are using more material as well. Unless you do Active Directory, SUS, configure RRAS & VPNS, DHCP, and DNS every day for your job, you pry won't pass just using this book. Good luck!
