AS a free lance reviewer I get to read and review hundreds of books and often I find several great books on every subject. Also as a freelance reviewer I never do comparative reviews, my reviews are based solely on the content of each book. This book ranks as one of the best for passing the 70-210 exams and will be a nice addition to my technical library.The book starts from the beginning with installing, configuring and administration of 2000 professional, then you move to administration of the resources, file & print systems, troubleshooting, optimizing, networking, security and user accounts to make this one of the most complete books on the subject.
Each chapter breaks down the topics in the smaller more understandable sections and gives you exercises to perform along the way to enhance the learning process. There are also questions, labs, a two-minute drill and self-test in each chapter.
The book is also the perfect classroom book, as it seems to be tailored made for instructor lead classes. The book includes a cd-rom with CertTrainer, a lab simulator and ExamSim with adaptive practice exams. Finally there are over 30 minutes of audio material on the cd and also an electronic version of the book included.
The authors have left no stone unturned and have given you a great opportunity to pass the exam the first tie around. The book is priced under $50.00 and on-line you can purchase for less. Whether new the MCSE game or an old hand, this book will have you moving into the new millennium of computing!
