Rating:  Summary: Better than any other guide Review: First of all, let me make this clear. "You cannot pass the exam by just studying this guide". But amongst all the other guides in the market, this guide by Sybex is the best.Sybex products are the best, i have compared them many times with other publishers. Sybex always stands out. I passed the exam (70-210) and (70-215) by using Sybex's guides together with Coriolis' Exam Crams and Braindumps. This is enough for anyone to pass the exam.
Rating:  Summary: MCSE Windows 2000 Professional - Study Guide (70-210) Review: Good book. However, the questions in this book are much easier than the actual exam questions. I read this book with the corresponding Exam Cram book and passed the exam on the first try. I also used many of the online practice tests available. Don't plan on passing the exam using this book alone. Study from other sources too!

Rating:  Summary: I passed the test using only this book ! Review: I decided to become an mcse, so i bought the core four set from sybex. I read this book and went for the test. I can say it it was enough to pass. The book is well organized and included a lot of helpful tips. The only problem was that some functions like the "winnt" wasn't detailed. My advice is to buy this book, but to be on the safe side read it along with the w2k server before passing the test. GOOD LUCK !!!
Rating:  Summary: Helpful Review: I have found Sybex books very helpful when preparing for MCSE certification exams. A combination of reading this book, hands on experience and taking transcender pretest exams helped me score a 900 on this exam in April of 2003. If you are pursuing your Windows 2000 MCSE a word of advice, don't stop and start. Set a goal with a time frame and get it done. It's much easier to pass the next exam when there isn't a large time gap between the previous.

Rating:  Summary: Great book from Sybex Review: I highly reccomend this book to anyone who wishes to undertake the 70-210 exam. I used this book along with trancenders q's and I passed the test. The book was very clear and I had no problems understanding it. It wasnt boring, like some certification books are. If a certification book is dull and boring you will have no motivation to read it - this book is the opposite, its an easy read. I reccomend also they you do a fair ammount of practice q's as well, then you will understand what the q's are asking you, and what your expected to know. You may know the answer to the question, but the way the question is worded you think you have no idea. All in all a good book
Rating:  Summary: win2000 exam 070-210 - Complete, friendly, and hands-on... Review: I passed my test today, and it was mainly due to this book! I used this as my primary study book, with the Dummies and ExamCram books being 2nd and 3rd sources of info respectively. All 3 are great books, but this Sybex book is by far the most complete and user-friendly when it comes to hands-on exercises and experience-based learning. I actually use 2000 Professional extensively (with this book), which helps tremendously with this test! The many screenshots in the book are high-quality too, and go well with the basic WinSim exercises on the CD. Visually & organizationally speaking, this is the most impressive book of the three! People can potentially pass using only this book! Because it's not in as easy to carry format as the others though, I found it helpful to use the additional books, at least when studying on-the-go. ExamCram and the Dummies books are great for this very reason: they're short, focused, to-the-point, and can be easily studied anywhere. I highly recommend using at least one of these books along with this Sybex book (as complete as it is), because the exam is crazy-difficult! I'm A+ and Network+ certified, used all three books, and I still feel fortunate to have passed. I kind of rushed through the material in these other books though, so had I failed it would have been on me and not these books. With certifications, it seems you can never be too prepared, but you have to take the test sometime!

Rating:  Summary: Good 2000 Pro review. Review: I recommend this book as an excellent review tool for the 210 exam. Extensive hands on use of 2000 Pro and/or another book is needed to be prepared for the exam though. It covers the topics that you need to know in an easy to read manner, but without much depth. If you are already familiar with Windows 2000, then this book will do the job by itself.
