Summary: It lived up to the reviews
Review: I selected this book based on online reviews and found that it completely lived up to the reviews. The technical level was broad and deep enough to make this useful as both exam preparation and as a reference. Each chapter ends with a short "Two Minute Drill" of important concepts. This was surprisingly useful the night before the exam. The practice exam questions cover the material well. The questions on the actual exam in February 2001 are significantly harder than these questions. The exam questions typically require a level of detail that you could only get by working with Windows 2000 Server in a real network environment. This book may help you see the big picture and fill in some areas you don't see on the job, but it is no substitute for real experience. Microsoft's goal for this test is to make it impossible to pass without experience. As of February 2001 they seem to have reached their goal.

Summary: Not bad, better than the one for 70-210
Review: I thought this book was better than the 2000 Professional book by the same authors. I do agree with the other reader that said there were questions at the end of the chapters that weren't covered in the text, however. And it could have gone a little more in depth in a lot of areas. I used the Sybex books for the NT4 track and would say these are about the same. I passed both exams though with a 900 and 800 respectively. I think I'll try the Exam Cram series for the electives.

Summary: Great study guide for this test!!
Review: I'm not sure why this book has gotten so many bad reviews. This is the main book I used to prepare for this exam, and I passed it on the first try with a 900+ score. I used mainly this book, and the Windows 2000 Server resource kit to fill in the gaps on some of the things that I didn't feel totally competant with. This book, and some hands on experience in a test network is plenty to pass this exam. Take it from a 2000 MCSE, this one will help you greatly in passing this test.

Summary: Worth t o buy but not enough alone
Review: The book is quite good for the beginners to get enough detailed knowledge about all the required subjects but exam is quite tough also. I passed with 840 with the help this book plus Microsoft MSCE w2s and Trancender. Especially there were lots of disk mngmnt questions. The book is giving some clues about the subject but not much in detail. You should really experience this situation and troubleshooting parts with the help of other references. But it plus some others. You will be happy.

Summary: Not as good as touted herein
Review: The book misses some key areas that are covered in the exam. Overall, I was troubled by the lack of editing and several major factual errors. This book might be sufficient to pass the exam, but you'll likely want to supplement the book with sample exams so you know what you're missing.

Summary: Don't depend on this book
Review: The book presents a comparatively superficial overview of the material on the exam. It has nowhere near the depth required to prepare you for this exam. It is virtually a carbon copy of the workstation (70-210) book in the series. Do not depend on this book alone to prepare you for the exam.

Summary: Great Multimedia Exam Preparation
Review: This book and CD have it all! I found the explanations to be very clear. The use of charts, exam watch items, screen shots and other ways to highlight the information really helped me understand the new features of Win2K. Then, I installed the CD and found a regular exam (not a repeat of book questions), an adaptive exam (again, new questions), video clips and more. You can even listen to chapter summaries while you drive!

Summary: Absolute trash
Review: This book contains as many mistakes as the Windows 2000 Professional book written by these same useless Shinder clowns. After reading the first 3 chapters I realized I was wasting my time reading this muddled garbage and threw the book in the trash where it belongs. I have ordered the Microsoft Training Kit to study for the 70-215 exam. Most of this book is an exact copy of the Windows 2000 Professional book - they haven't even bothered to replace all the "Windows 2000 Professional" parts with "Windows 2000 Server" that they've copied.

Summary: I liked it.
Review: This book covered a lot of information. I haven't taken the exam yet so I really can't say if the book helps in that perspective. I was able to follow a lot of the exercises. The book was written well in understandable terms and it is our text for a networking class at school. I would say that after reading this book I have a much better idea of what W2K server has to offer.
