Mike Meyers' MCSE WIndows (R) 2000 Directory Services Administration Certification Passport (Exam 70-217)

Rating:
Summary: Easy reading - Good overview
Review: I have attended SMS Security seminars by Mr. Kaczmarek which were very informative and presented in an enjoyable learning matter. This book was my main source of study material for the 70-217 exam which I passed on my 1st try. I have since bought many of the other Mike Meyers books, hoping they are organized and read as easy as this one. Kudos & Cheers!

Review: If you plan on purchasing Directory Services Passport book I would recommend using this book as a quick overview before taking the 70-217 exam because that is the way it is setup. If you follow the MCSE track and the 70-217 exam is your 5th or later test in the track, this book will really become a redundancy of the information you have already learned. The information in it is very easy to read, almost too easy. To save yourself some money when you want a good starting foundation of Active Directory (in my opinion) is purchasing Mastering Windows 2000 Server by Sybex/Mark Minasi. You will get the same information with all aspects of Windows 2000 covered and a more enjoyable read.

Summary: Light
Review: Like the other books in the series, it covers topics very lightly and should be used as a last second quick study guide rather than a primary one. The CD-ROM includes a decent exam prep with questions tougher than those in the book.
