Summary: Wonderful Book
Review: I used this book and transcender and passed the test. You need to use "microsoft's technet" and "microsoft's official windows 2000 site" to understand "IPSEC and Certificate Services" because this book is very poor in these concepts. I too recommend ucertify's demo simulates.

Summary: Absolutely Worthless !!!!!!!
Review: It's not possible to give this book a minus 5 STARS!!! This is by far the most wasteful use of paper I have ever seen. If you think you are going to pass this exam with this book you are sadly mistakened. This book is not even close to what you need to study to pass the exam. I bought the book "Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure Administration by Paul Robichaux and James Chellis" and passed the exam. I would not recommend this book to anyone. As a matter of fact I have one that you can have for free. I will even pay for shipping.

Summary: Good book. Easy to read
Review: Its the best book available now for this test. Easy to read and it covers all the oficial topics. If you're looking a good Study Guide for the 216 test, this is the best choice!Unfortunatly, CD and Simulation Software that comes whitin is not so good. You can not review your mistakes after taken a test;CD sound's quality or audio is not the best either. Studying well all this book's topics and also buying and reading Windows 2000 TCP/IP Troubleshooting too, of same authors, you can take the test without any problem or fear.

Summary: Good beginning
Review: Lots of words, but little useful information. I want a book that gets to the meat, and this is not it. I have been working with Windows for a long time. I think this book was written for a beginner, but I think it would be too confusing. I found the material very wordy and hard to follow. I got this book because of the reviews, I just don't understand how other give it 4 stars.

Summary: Perfect book with poor CD
Review: The book is definitely perfect. It covers all the details and exam objectives sufficiently. I think it even covers some topics more than required for the exam, so the book can be used not only as an exam prep book but also as a reference material on future carrier. I think it's possible to pass the exam only with this book when accompanied with a few practice tests. CD is insufficient, there is only one set of questions provided with an un-friendly interface. Exam simulator is a simple web based tool without advanced options like re-taking questions you are bad at or similar. This can take the book to 4-starts if you consider, you also pay for a practice question CD, however I would like to stay at 5 considering the quality of the book itself. There is nothing else intresting in the CD.

Summary: IT Specialist
Review: The book is very comprehensive and goes into enough depth to cover virtually all the concepts in the 70-216 exam. What kills this book is the lack of concise, clear explanations and assumptions of an expected level of understanding of data networking technology. Please not everyone belongs to a well to do fortune XXXX company that can offer cisco and 3com network equipment labs. On top of that are serious syntax and typo errors which throws off another star for this book. If the book included more exercises like the Sybex book and was carefully critiqued, it would deserve at least a 4 star rating...but sorry you should have done that before carelessly releasing this study guide to the public

Summary: Exelent book , The best MCSE 70-216 study guide
Review: This book covers everithing you will need for the MCSE 70-216 Test, and is very nice orderly built. but what is a bit enoying is all those issues, which a little bit more explenations could have helped complete understanding, but there are only references to other Shinder's books of syngress.This promotion is not what you be expecting from sucha good book !

Summary: Good for ground up tutorial but should also look elsewhere
Review: This book covers many of the most of the basics you need to know in the MCSE exam (DHCP, DNS, WINS). However, topics on static routing, OSPF, RIP, multicast routing, certificate of authority are definetely not covered enough. You are not given the picture on how OSPF, RIP, multicast and unicast routing, actually works. If you think you can pass the exam with this book alone, don't bet on it unless you have plenty of experience. My advise on anyone who wishes to take this exam should also purchase the 3 Win2k resource kits (TCP/IP, Internetwork, Distributed System) for a very complete coverage on all the topics covered in this book. With these 4 books, I passed the exam on first try and completed CCNA with ease.

Summary: A good start
Review: This book does a very good job covering DNS, DHCP, WINS, and RRAS. However no single book will be enough to pass this exam. I used many practice tests and lots of hands-on, along with this book to pass. 70-216 is the toughest exam of the MCSE core requirements.
