I would like to point out that scripting is methioned in several chapters. Early on, scritping is reviewed from new command-line utilites (Pgs 28-30). On page 90, several GPMC Scripts are highlighted that are used to troubleshoot GPOs. In Chapter 4, IIS command-line scripts are featured and discussed. Chapter 3 discusses GPOs at length and includes topics on the Group Policy Managment Console (GPMC), copying, backing up, restoring and importing GPOs; Configuring RSoP, performing policy simulation, configuring and managing Security Policy using MMC and command line are all discussed in detail. I personally use a variety of methods to prepare for certification exams. Installing, using and playing around with the Windows product is critical to passing any MS exam. Certification Texts an Study guides like the Exam Cram texts are very useful for the details along with taking practice exam questions. In all, I prepare an average of thirty hours for each exam. It appears to me that some people not only don't study for the exam, but also fail to read the material they review.

Dont expect to pass with this book...
Well i must say I felt inclined to write and say how disappointed I am with the new exam cram series. This book is terrible. I have been using exam crams for years now (at least when they were printed by Coriolis) and they have always been great. I got my first MCSE with them as well as my CCEA. You will not pass this exam with this guide. I took the exam without studying and failed (dumb idea). Anyway this book does not cover things that I saw on the exam itself. I wont say much here so I dont break my confidentiallity agreement with MS but this book doesnt cover things like scripting and OU design and where is the GPO stuff? Instead it is a beginner guide to Windows 2003 which is not what the exam is. An example of this is on page 348 and I quote: "Catastrophies such as fire, theft, acts of nature, or acts of violence can completely destroy an entire data center..." This is the kind of crap I expect to see in a beginner guide to Windows 2003. It's important to cover the disaster recovery parts that are relevant to the exam but this is the kind of crap you get instead. Exam cram used to be the nitty gritty of what you need to know for the exam but this book is loaded with crap that is completely irrelavant. How can you call it a cram guide when it has 542 pages? Again, I am very disappointed and will be searching for an alternative.
