Rating:  Summary: Great Resource but obsolete test database Review: This book is a great reference for anyone wanting a quick and to the point learning reference guide. However, it is useless for the actual Microsoft Server test because the key focus and format of the questions in the book and the CDROM do NOT match the questions on the Microsoft exam. I failed the actual exam (miserably) after routinely scoring very high on this books assessment testing database. Do not trust the testing material in this book.
Rating:  Summary: Not much help when it comes to exam 70-215 Review: This is a good intro to Windows 2000 but is very bad as a Windows 2000 server study guide for exam 70-215. Has nothing about Active DIR. Nothing about Policies, not enough about Org policies. I would NOT advise anyone who wants to pass this test to use this book.
Rating:  Summary: From the Author... Review: Welcome to MCSE Windows 2000 Server For Dummies! This book, along with your existing Windows 2000 knowledge and hands-on experience, can help you review the exam objectives for the Windows 2000 Server exam. Packed with succinct, concise information and hundreds of practice questions, this book can help you get the exam edge you need.
Rating:  Summary: Dissapointed about the cd Review: When I start preparing for a MS exam I always buy a Dummies book. I used the For Dummies when I did the 70-098 and 70-210 exams so I bought this title without looking at the reviews.This book by itself would not have given me a passing score. There is nothing about Active Directory or Group policies in this book and I had quite a few questions on the exam about these subjects. The book did give me some good info and is good to start of with. Biggest dissapointment is the cd. Almost an exact copy of the 70-210 cd with a few extra questions. It hardly had questions related on the book. I just bought 70-216 and 70-217 from the dummies series because I think they deliver superb reading material.
