Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good from MCSE exams
Review: I used this book as part of my prep for MCSE exams 70-232 and 70-226. It's almost enough information by itself for 232.

The reading is as dry as a technical book is expected to be, but the information is extremely helpful, especially as no study guides are likely to be published for 232 any time soon.

Summary: Errors and lies
Review: This book has so many errors I'm amazed it came from Microsoft. It says you can use NLB with one NIC - you can't. It misdocuments command-line syntax for AC.EXE. I've found so many minor errors that I wish I could just send the book back. Half of this book just duplicates the App Center online manual. I learned more from a presentation I saw at a conference and I'm buying that guy's book when it comes out - Application Center 2000 Configuration by Don Jones.

Summary: Good book, some errors
Review: This is a good book, and covers many great details of how AppCenter operates. Keep in mind though that the book was published before the final product release, so many of its errors stem from design changes after this book went to press.

If you are responsible for an AppCenter cluster, I highly recommend this text. Hopefully MSPress will correct its errors in a new edition.

BTW, for the record, you can most definately use NLB if you have only one NIC, you just can't configure AppCenter to use NLB if you don't have two.
