3.0 out of 5 stars ONLY ABOUT HALF OF KNOWLEDGE FOR EITHER NT4.0 TEST, March 22, 1999

By A Customer

Decent prep for the two NT Tests, But Not Great.

Good book to study to set a pace for preparing for the two MCSE certifications it partially covers. If you work in NT networks already, skip this book and get an Exam Cram instead. But follow up with the second step: Windows NT Technical Support. If you're new to MCSE/MCP process and don't work on an NT network, then this is more along your line for quick understanding of account and printer management/creation and general admin tasks.

After several self-tests, I realized I was not ready to sit for the exam after finishing this book. I dug a little deeper into the subject requirements for the NT Server 4.0 exam [described in the book in small type] and discovered this book doesn't completely cover what is required for the exam!!! To pass the exams you need to read and study 'Windows NT Technical Support Training' as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow!!!, June 27, 1998

By A Customer

This book is an easy guide to follow. I am currently working through it at the moment. The lessons are not too complex and with a little basic knowledge the matter is easily understood. I like the way it is split up into short lessons. This makes studying during lunch-breaks and evenings more possible. Also having a copy of NT supplied with it makes life a lot easier.

The first reviewer in this list said that the book did not cover "half the material required for the exam". If he had bothered to read the documentation it actually says that to pass the exams you need to read 'Windows NT Tecnical Support Training' as well. Together, the two books apparrently cover all the material required. I look forward to working through that book next.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide to keep you from becoming a paper MCSE., October 8, 1999

By A Customer

If you want a great training guide for NT administration, then this it. The book contains hands-on exercises for administering an NT network in a single domain. Many of the reviews here will tell you that it is not good for preparing for the exam, that's true. But it will give you great hands on experience that will help you on an NT exam.

Too many people out there out just concerned about passing the exam without really knowing how to perform hands on tasks. If you want to really know NT administration then this guide is for you.
