Customer Reviews

Obviously, this was put out to be first one on the shelf
There are so many typos in this book, that it is obvious the publisher just wanted to be first to get one out on this exam. There are numerous items which are just plain WRONG, and if you don't have enough experience with the topic, you will be setting yourself up for failure on the exam. I gave it 2 stars because I haven't finished the book yet, and wanted to be optimistic that I would see improvement toward the end. I do NOT recommend this book to anyone who is not familiar enough with W2K web solutions to figure out when the authors are right....and when they are wrong.

Do NOT buy
...I had been using this publisher for all of my exams followed with Transceder software, but this book is the worst. The typo are numberous aand horrible. Several statements were just wrong and the book contradicts itsself in multiple places...

UPDATE:

I finished reading the book and it was an 80% waste of time. I finally found a good practice test and found that I was completly unprepared. This book doesn't even scratch the surface of what the exam requires you to know. Furthermore it spent great deal of time on simple subjects that (since you reading this book you have probably passed the other required exams) you probably already know. I have decided to just take the designing AD exam, there just isn;t enough good study material for this exam. This book was a complete waste of money. At least I bought it used.

Repetitions, Repetitions and Repetitions + Wrong
Argh there are tooo many repetitions in this book. It talks about NBL and tell readers what it is 5 time all virtually the same...and it explains each RAID 5 times using the same tables.. and it talks about stuff that you already know... and also stuff that are WRONG!!!...ok well if you are taking this exam, it is likely that you have taken all the core exams as you are planning to design a network using them.. instead of teahcing you how to design the network, this book goes through what each features do.. EG. it tells us what AD and DNS and DHTP server do...but doesn't tell us like the benefits of them and their design tips or topologies that are required in "highly avaliable websolution" design.. instead it tells us AD is really cool and DHCP is really cool too.

Give me my 50 bucks back...
