Within the newest Microsoft set of exams there is a need to find one source f information to study for the core exams. While this book makes a great effort in the attempt it needs a little more work in order to the go to reference.
In over 1000 pages you'll cover the four core exams, but I found it also works for the newest MCSA Exams. Broken down into four parts with part 1 covering the Windows 2000 Professional exam 70-210 with topics like install, configuration, administration, managing device, task manager, faxing, networking and tcp/ip.
In part 2 you work towards the Windows 2000 Server, 70-215 exam, covering topics like administration, hardware configuration, working with system resources, networking and storage devices. Overall this section needs to be expanded and I could see more information for configuration and troubleshooting needed.
Part 3 is the Networking or 70-216 exam tackling topics like DNS, DHCP, Remote Access, and IPSec, WINS, routing and networking fundamentals. Finally Part 4 covers Active Directory or the 70-217 exam.
There is also a cd included with a practice exam for each exam, for the money there should be more exams to work with. There are also review questions and hands-on examples and here to there needs to be more. Overall a good place to start but with a few needed updates it may turn out to be the only place you'll need to go to.
